When it comes to fighting homelessness and other issues, numbers are important. But what's really at stake are human beings. Individuals or children who were born into poverty or who are struggling for the first time in their lives because of difficult circumstances.

These stories and numbers are people all around us.

Last year we improved the lives of more than 10,000 King County residents and the results were astounding.
