Giving DIRECT-TO-NEED
This year we coordinate with local organizations, musicians, artists and local radio and alternative media platforms to create an ongoing cycle of awareness addressing youth homelessness.
We already enjoy the support of many local businesses and Tacoma's music and arts culture, making it simple to focus the attention of our city on the forgotten youth with no shelter in our communities.

Previous years, Stars 4 Peace have been used to highlight important areas of need in Tacoma's neighborhoods and have contributed important supplies like food and clothing to survivors of trauma due to abuse, youth in underprivileged communities and people with no place to stay.

Support At-Risk Youth through H.O.P.E. w/ Stars 4 Peace

Giving even small amounts of monetary support as a whole community to support organizations allows them to accomplish their missions and encourages them in their work. We research, vet and present the local organizations we feel do an exceptional job and believe are under-supported in the work they do.
As a community we encounter thousands of people together who will also help support youth, once they know how they can do so. The organizations we have worked to get to know need community support.
