This month, we’re celebrating our 1-year Direct Support Professional OGs 🎉💙

You were the very first people to take a chance on Advocate Access NW and trust us as a brand-new organization. That means more to us than we can ever fully put into words.

Because of you, we were able to grow, learn, and build something meaningful from the ground up. Your care, patience, and commitment to person-centered support show up every single day, and the impact you have on the members you support is real and lasting 🌟🤝

Everything we’ve accomplished so far is tied to the work you do and the trust you placed in us from the very beginning. We are so grateful for you, so proud to work alongside you, and so excited to keep moving forward together ✨🩵

And our Direct Support Professional OGs are...🥁🥁🥁

🚗💨 Help Us Power Up Community RC Club!

Our Community RC Club meets on the 3rd Saturday of each month from 11 AM–12 PM at McCormick Park (covered area), and we’re looking for working-condition remote control cars to help make future events even more exciting for our members! 🏁✨

Please note: This request is not for this weekend’s event. We’re collecting for upcoming RC Club events and continue to look forward to all the fun events still to come this month! 🎉

If you have gently used RC cars that are still in working order, we would love to give them a new home where they’ll be raced, enjoyed, and well cared for🚦💙

Interested in donating? Visit us at the office or send us a message! Our office hours are 8 AM - 5 PM Monday through Friday😎

Thank you for helping us build community one race at a time!☀️

📍 McCormick Park, St. Helens
🗓 February 21st (NEXT Saturday)
🕚 11 AM–12 PM

Hey friends!!

Change of plans!
We just found out that Yo Place had a change in hours and doesn’t open until 3pm now.

Since it’s sooo nice out today- we will be meeting at McCormick park under the covered area instead!

We will follow up soon with details for a new time/location moving forward.

🎧 Sensory Headphones Return Reminder🎧

If you borrowed sensory headphones at our Moose-IC Night event on 02/07/2026, we kindly ask that they be returned to the Advocate Access NW office as soon as you can. These items are shared resources that help us support accessibility and sensory comfort at our community events.

If sensory headphones are something an individual uses regularly or would benefit from long-term, please let us know. In those cases, the headphones may be kept and utilized on an ongoing basis. We simply ask that they continue to be brought and used at future events so we can ensure continued access for those who would benefit from them, without impacting our event budget.

Thank you for helping us keep our events inclusive, welcoming, and accessible for everyone 💙
