“The food bank is open every weekday, except for Wednesday from 10am-3pm, closed for lunch from 10:30-noon, I believe, and always has a good assortment of yummy nums to offer... never the same, but always enough to tide us over for a few days to a week even, sometimes. I haven't stayed in the shelter part of SA, but I know people who have, most of the scuttlebutt was good...as per anything else that they offer, I assume it is as fine a quality as what I have already seen there. A place that honors and appreciates the community they're in, doing a great job of giving back to help those in need of any variety of services and/or items. A helpful, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Volunteers are often in evidence and are very helpful and personable as well.”

“Living in Tacoma, this tool library is a hidden gem, especially for those tackling projects in the charm-filled houses from the 1900s. During COVID, it became our lifeline for refinishing original hardwood floors. While a website may be missing in 2023, their social media and linktree make connecting a breeze. The affordability of tools combined with the community spirit makes this resource truly awesome, contributing to the enhancement of our neighborhoods. Highly recommended for DIY enthusiasts!”

“We found the price for almost stuffs such as clothes, accessories, pet bed, small table with affordable prices. However the used items seem pretty worn out That is why we have donated here instead of another popular organization which also got donated items but selling with the price of new item /or unreasonable price. This will contribute a small part to the varieties of items to this store.. We are sure to think about donating some money as well.”

“The people at this number have been patient and helpful. When they referred me to Pierce County Rent Assistance, those people are unreachable by phone, in person or email. That program has done more harm than good for me. I am grateful to 211. But the programs they partner with need to give 211 more information, and not pass the buck, because then you have Human Services telling people to call 211, who tells people to call Human Services, and around and around.”

“Tacoma, WA has an ugly stain in its history. Fueled by an economic depression in the late 1800s that depleted the job market, the unemployed and frustrated workers blamed the Chinese immigrants. The Chinese became targets of violent rallies and riots. The local leaders and lawmen were happy to oblige with these scapegoat antics, creating and enforcing laws that limited the rights of the Chinese. On Oct 3, 1885, a mandate was created demanding the Chinese leave Tacoma by the first of November. In fear of their lives, many Chinese left, but more than 200 chose to stay. On November 3, 1885, an organized mob of armed men, led by the mayor of Tacoma, forcibly evicted the remaining Chinese from the city. They were marched eight miles to the Lake View train station where the Chinese waited all night in the rain without shelter. The next morning, armed guards loaded them onto trains bound for Portland. While indictments were filed against 27 men including the mayor, they were overturned, reinstated, and overturned again in 1886. None were ever held accountable.The Chinese Reconciliation Project Foundation (CRPF) was founded in 1994 to provide a historical memory and healing of this tragic expulsion of the Chinese people from Tacoma. This park is a result of their efforts. Located by Commencement Bay, the park is a work in progress though funding remains limited. The map of the park at the entrance identify multiple markings for future features. At the moment, the pavilion is the most prominent structure at the park. It is named the Fuzhou Ting, a gift from Tacoma's sister city of Fuzhou, China. The word Ting means pavilion. The white color bridge is called the String of Pearls Bridge. Several stone carvings express "Path of Expulsion". Multiple signages explain the history and purpose of this park. I have high hopes that this park will be fully completed and well maintained in the future years. This history needs to be remembered to prevent future tragedies. It clearly wasn't learned yet when the Japanese were rounded up. The influx of immigrants will continue in this country, and we need to protect their rights. As is, there was vandalism leaving burnt markings in the mouth of one of the foo dogs, while the other foo dog has overgrown brush covering it that has not been properly trimmed. The site is beautiful and makes for a short or slow walk, depending on how many signs you read. Benches and boulders that face the water provide great picnic spots. Parking was plentiful. You can also park along Ruston Way.”

He is so much happier now because the center provides a safe and supportive environment to meet up and make friends, to learn some adulting skills, to have fun outings, and to advise on needed services.
