Each year, the city of Snoqualmie allocates 1 percent of its general fund to community organizations that provide services to benefit children, seniors, individuals and families in need.

The funds will provide aid for food, shelter, clothing, counseling, and safety throughout the community.

“The state legislature gives a very focused mandate to Washington cities, requiring that we attend to the health, safety and welfare of our citizens,” said Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson. “Given that Snoqualmie lacks a department of social and health services, we are very fortunate to have many strong local partners that can assist the city in more effectively meeting this mandate.”

Recipients include Eastside Baby Corner, Encompass, Friends of Youth, Hopelink, Lifewire, Mount Si Senior Center, North Bend Community Church, Sno Valley Pet Food Bank, Sno Valley Adult Day Health, Sno Valley Indoor Playground, Snoqualmie Valley Community Network, Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank, St. Vincent de Paul, Two Rivers Schools, and the Snoqualmie Firefighters Association.
