    Be part of history at the Scriber Place Groundbreaking-a first-of-its-kind event in Snohomish County.

    This project will bring 52 affordable housing units to life through an innovative partnership with the Edmonds School District, creating homes specifically for students and their families experiencing homelessness.

    We’re looking for volunteers (ages 18+) to help us prepare the site for this milestone event. Your time and effort will ensure the groundbreaking is welcoming, smooth, and memorable for our community and partners.

    • Hanging banners and signage
    • Preparing refreshments
    • Providing general event support as needed

    Why It Matters

    This groundbreaking marks the start of a community-driven housing solution that will change lives. By helping us set the stage, you’re playing a key role in launching this project with the dignity and celebration it deserves.
