There are more ways than one to help your neighbors. Donations are one way, but giving your time and energy is also equally appreciated.
Make a Gift
You can make a secure online donation using all major credit cards. You’ll receive an immediate emailed receipt.
Sponsor
Invest in the well-being of all Islanders. We have benefit packages for Corporate Sponsorships and the Islanders for Islanders fund for Individual/Family Sponsorships.
Volunteer
Give of Yourself. We can always use a helping hand with the various fundraising events – especially our annual breakfast. The Mercer Island Thrift Shop is always looking for regular volunteers as well.
Beyond our annual Breakfast event, you can find our staff and Board members out in the community raising awareness and funds for YFS programs and services. Check out some of the places that you can find our staff, Board and volunteers (as well as support YFS) all year long!
