Holiday Stocking Event - December 20, 2025

Help support approximately 100 women who use the YWCA Angeline House in downtown Seattle, and 60-65 single parents and children at the YWCA House in Tacoma

The members of Washington State Business & Professional Women’s Foundation (WSBPWF) are putting together gift bags (stockings) for approximately 100 women who use the YWCA Angeline Day Center for Women in downtown Seattle and for approximately 60-65 single parents and children who are at the YWCA House in Tacoma.
Each bag will be filled with toiletries, socks, gloves, hats, and goodies. It is our goal to give these women and a few men as well as families a little something special at this wonderful time of year. We want them to know they are not forgotten. For many of these people, this is their only gift.

Due to the number of Holiday Stockings that we are filling, we are asking for your support for this rewarding project to help us purchase items. If you would like to make a cash donation, checks may be mailed to:

Washington State BPW Foundation

The Stocking Stuffer event for 2025 will be on Saturday, December 20, 202510am to 12 noon SEIU 6 Building3720 Airport Way South, Seattle.

We have already purchased the supplies and have done most of the prep work, so we will be hosting a gathering December 20, 2025, at the SEIU 6 building at 3720 Airport Way South to stuff the “stockings”.  
The event will begin at 10 a.m. and include holiday music and light refreshments. If you plan to attend the event, please RSVP to Nancy via text to (206) 734-6223.
