Welcome
Reach Out, a program of Catholic Community Services of King County (CCSKC), provides shelter, daily meals, and case management services to homeless adults at local Federal Way Churches during the coldest winter months. The program relies on partnerships with area congregations, community organizations, businesses, as well as many caring individuals and families.
The program's goal is to serve those in need by providing support to assist them in achieving self sufficiency, in turn strengthening our community. Thanks to continued support from our community, the men's shelter will start it's sixth winter season, and the women's shelter will start it's third winter season in December. South King County will now have shelter for women for a 7 month period, with the addition of a women's shelter in Kent opening in October.

Thank you everyone who helped make the 2012-2013 shelter season a success.

The 3rd Annual Fundraising Breakfast was a BIG success!
The community was well represented as many elected officials, church partners, business partners and volunteers shared their morning with us helping to raise funds for adults who are homeless in our community. Donations continue to come in and we expect to meet our Breakfast goal of $50,000 which goes toward the $110,000 needed to operate the shelter each winter season.
Please watch the video of two former Reach Out clients and find out how they were affected by homelessness, and how Reach out was able to help them. NOTE: Shortly after the taping of this interview - Christina and Neal moved into permanent housing as a result of Reach Out's assistance with paperwork for the Veterans Administration.

"At a time when my life seemed darkest and filled with turmoil, the program was a light that beat back the darkness."
