Heart of WA | Food, Books & Supplies Donation Drive

OFT is thrilled to announce a new partnership with WashMasks – an artist-driven mutual aid organization supporting migrant & Indigenous farmworkers throughout our state.

Help us bring culturally responsive food, household items, and art supplies to farm working communities across our state this holiday season! Please drop off supplies (see community-requested supply lists below) to the OFT lobby during the following dates/times:

  • Monday, Nov 29 – Friday, Dec 3 | 10am-1pm 
  • Sunday, Dec 5 | 10am-3pm 
  • Monday, Dec 6 – Friday, Dec 10 | 10am-1pm 
**Also – spoiler alert(!) – watch out for a press release in December announcing a major creative project collaboratively produced by OFT and WashMasks!**
Can’t make it out to donate? There is a Target registry as well.

HERE is a link to the WashMasks Bookshop if you would like to purchase culturally appropriate books for migrant youth!
