Come show your support for Communities In Schools! Olympia will be opening its doors (hypothetically) for the state's non-profits to talk to legislators about what they do.

Research shows that students with poor oral health and dental pain is the leading cause of school absenteeism in the nation. It also shows Tacoma children from low-income families are impacted four times more because of limited access to dental care, insurance, transportation, and other barriers. We're trying to change that.

This year, we would like to be able to grant over 100 wishes to low income students and their families, but we need your help. You can sponsor a family, fill specific wishes, or simply make a donation--there are lots of ways to help bring some magic into the world.

Every year, each of our school sites adopts a fire or police station nearby. The students make thank you cards, and then deliver them--along with cookies and coffee, donated by local businesses--to their adopted station.
