Some of the following organizations are strong partners with Bread & Roses.  Some are just really great allies & friends!

Family Support Center

The Family Support Center serves low-income families and families in crisis.  Really awesome homeless services program with high-quality case management services and a volunteer driven shelter program.  The Family Support Center is a recognized leader among homeless service providers for strong community engagement and participation in collaborative service-continuum planning.  The FSC’s Executive Director, Schelli Slaughter, also volunteers for Bread & Roses as a member of our board of directors.

Full Disclosure: Phil Owen, volunteer host at B&R and administrator of this website, is also an employee in the FSC’s homeless services office…  So if the brown-nosing here seems a little overbearing, you can just bet that Phil is aiming for a raise. 

Capital Clubhouse

The Capital Clubhouse is a member-operated mental health recovery organization.  The Clubhouse picked up the mail, laundry voucher, and shower voucher services that used to be offered by the former Bread & Roses Advocacy Center.  We are grateful for the Clubhouse’s willingness to jump in and help!  Shannon Ford, the programs manager at the Clubhouse, also volunteers for Bread & Roses as a member of our board of directors.

Out of the Woods Shelter

The Out of the Woods Shelter serves homeless families with children.  The structure of the organization looks a lot like our own House of Hospitality – the shelter is a home on the west side of Olympia, and is staffed by a live-in volunteer.  It offers a home-centered environment for homeless families to regain stability.  Selena Kilmoyer, the live-in volunteer and director of OOW, also volunteers for Bread & Roses as a member of our board of directors.
