Help Our Kids

Some kids who never could have otherwise gone to camp are able to have a summer camp experience this year, thanks to Campbell Nelson Volkswagen.

Campbell Nelson Volkswagen Helping Olive Crest Kids

We are so grateful that through June 30, Campbell Nelson Volkswagen is giving back to our kiddos! Every car sold during this time will help send a kid to camp. We are proud to partner with Campbell Nelson Volkswagen and are thankful for the way they give back to our community.

Our Kids Need Your Help!

We are looking for an array of donations this season for our Olive Crest kids and families.

  • Toys and activities: We specifically need car-friendly toys, such as small stuffed animals, children’s CDs, and books.
  • Household baskets: Fill a basket with laundry detergent, dish soap, toilet paper, garbage bags, cleaning supplies, towels, hand soap, gift cards, etc.
  • Food baskets: Fill a basket with staples, such as dried pasta, sauce, boxed mac & cheese, peanut butter, tuna, soup, canned fruits and vegetables, cereal, granola bars, etc.

To donate, please drop off items at our Bellevue office at 2500 116th Ave. NE, Ste. 1; or for more information, please contact Kenna Harpell at 425.462.1612, x1307. We are grateful for your contributions!

Make a Difference and Be Recognized in Our New House of Hope

We’re gearing up for helping 300 more children suffering from, or at-risk of, abuse—but we still need your help to make it all happen. Any gift is welcome, and gifts of $500 or more will be honored with a personalized Leaf on our Family Tree in the House of Hope lobby.

Funds Raised for Kids by Bowling in P.J.s!

Held this past month, Sleep Train’s Pajama Bowl was a huge success! At this annual event, attendees get to bowl in their P.J.s to raise money for foster kids. The total funds raised by all our teams have yet to be announced, but our staff team, Time to Spare, raised $1,900. We are so grateful for the 12 teams that brought energy and excitement to the night in order to help raise funds for our kids and families. We couldn’t have done it without you!
