What are we doing?

BizEnrich, in partnership with Olive Crest, is hoping to raise $10,000 in addition to non-perishable food items and grocery gift cards for the clients served through Olive Crest’s Family Preservation Services (FPS) program right here in our local community.

Where will items go?

Donated food, gift cards, and dollars will go to support Olive Crest’s FPS program.  Olive Crest serves 79 children and families in Western Washington per year through their FPS program.

How does it work?

Child Protective Services (CPS) will contact Olive Crest and ask the organization to work with a family at-risk of losing their children to foster care.  An Olive Crest family preservation therapist will work with a family for an average of four to six months, helping to teach basic parenting skills and connecting them with the community resources they need to build a stronger family unit and to keep their kids safe.

For general questions about Olive Crest or how you or a group can get more involved, please contact Cara Rudd at 425.462.1612 ext. 1356 or cara-rudd@olivecrest.org.
