A Supportive Community for All

MISSION

A Supportive Community For All (SCFA) is a new 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to create a more equitable Snoqualmie Valley by engaging, connecting, and supporting people and organizations to collaboratively build a community where all members can thrive. 

DESCRIPTION

Shaped by the collaborative efforts of several local organizations in 2018-19, SCFA started with a big idea: That everyone in the Snoqualmie Valley deserves access to Human Services, without barriers. The Sno-Valley is geographically large, spanning over 40 miles from North Bend's outskirts to unincorporated King County, just outside of Duvall. Residents live in mixed suburban and rural areas and often have limited access to support for transportation, housing, mental health, and beyond. Removing barriers meant that service providers would genuinely need to work together differently to make a change, shifting paradigms, breaking down silos, and moving forward together — not against each other.

SCFA serves as a backbone for the organizations dedicated to transformative change and improving equitable outcomes in the Sno-Valley. SCFA administers a collaborative Referral & Navigation program that connects community members to service providers, and service providers to each other. SCFA is a connector, supporter, and catalyst, strengthening the local safety net so that more community members are aware of — and connected to —  the services they need.

As an organization, our role is to support our partners in fulfilling their vision for transformative change. We recognize that this work is a starting point, not an answer, and that equity-focused work is continuous; it requires many voices and a deep, ongoing commitment to dismantling root causes of inequities in the Sno-Valley and elsewhere.
