Together we have donated more than 1 million dollars to local organizations and Community Makeover projects. Our neighbors need Peace Out. It is getting harder for vulnerable members of our community to meet the basic needs of their families. The economy has severely affected government, corporate and individual funding for many non-profits who provide vital services. A vibrant community must meet the social, cultural, recreational, and environmental needs of its people. Our community needs Peace Out. Peace Out is a solution for the alienation felt by vulnerable populations. We are literally bringing people together and redefining what it means to be accountable to your community. We know that Peace Out will inspire our future community members, businesses and leaders to act with compassion, dignity and action for generations to come. Through Peace Out, we are empowered to recognize and respond to community needs. This innovative program has served thousands in Pierce and King County, whose outreach extends from the arts and humanities, to basic needs, healthcare, education and a wide variety of social services. Through Peace Out, you can experience and participate in the culture of philanthropy; helping build a foundation of compassionate giving that will last a lifetime. As one volunteer wrote, "I feel I will be a better community member because I will now stay more interested in issues within the community." You can be part of this exciting work with local volunteers! All contributions to Peace Out are considered tax-exempt charitable deductions. Volunteers at Peace Out learn philanthropy, teamwork and fundraising skills. More importantly, they learn to exercise compassion that will last a lifetime. When we are involved in acts of compassion, we are less likely to get distracted by negative influences. Peace Out builds relationships and redefines what it means to be accountable to the community. As one 15 year old said "I will become more active in my community now because I know more about how to get involved!”
