🍓✨ SAVE THE DATE! ✨🍓

Mark your calendars for TCI’s Strawberry Shortcake Fundraiser on Saturday, June 20th from 1:30–3:30 PM at Faith Lutheran Community Center in Lacey!

Join us for a delicious afternoon featuring fresh, locally grown strawberries from our amazing sponsor, Spooner Berry Farms Olympia. We'll be serving up mouthwatering strawberry shortcake piled high with sweet strawberries and whipped cream—all for a great cause.

Every shortcake served helps support Thurston County Inclusion’s FREE Summer Camp Program, providing unforgettable summer experiences for youth with and without disabilities at no cost to families. Funds raised will help purchase adaptive and sensory-friendly materials, bring in exciting guest collaborators, create engaging activities, and ensure every participant has the opportunity to attend!

💖 Enjoy a sweet treat & help us reach our fundraising goal.

Bring your friends, family, and sweet tooth, and make a difference one strawberry shortcake at a time!

When kids don’t have access to school meals during the summer, SUN Bucks provides families with $120 per eligible child to buy groceries!

Most children are automatically enrolled, but you can submit an application if you are unsure about eligibility. Our Client Services team can also help you with the process.

Families will receive a SUN Bucks card in the mail that can be used just like SNAP to purchase groceries anywhere EBT is accepted.

Go to FreeSummerMeals.org to learn more or talk to one of our Client Advocates.
