Supporting kids where they learn and grow.
Akin - Wenatchee is a vital resource center specializing in family and child counseling, and their impact reaches deep into Wenatchee’s elementary schools.
Through their Social Service Specialists, Akin provides behavior, academic, and social-emotional support to over 400 students during the school year—and another 200 during the summer months.
🎒 Thanks to the 2025 Youth Assistance Funds from the Wenatchee Valley Children’s Guild, Akin is able to stock up on the tools that make a difference: Play-Doh for calming moments, books for learning, stickers and small toys for encouragement, and snacks to keep kids focused and cared for.
Every item helps build trust, spark joy, and support a child’s journey.
💙 We’re proud to stand with Akin as they nurture resilience and connection in our schools.

Families need support now more than ever! Please consider making a donation now! Link below in original post.

We thank you for your support.

Families across WA state are feeling the impact of food insecurity.

With the freeze and delay of SNAP benefits, thousands of families are struggling to put food on the table. As the full impact of these cuts takes effect, food insecurity is only expected to grow.

The need is NOW.

We have launched a coordinated statewide effort to raise emergency funds and fight hunger, providing families with food, diapers, and household essentials.

Our goal is clear: Raise $100,000 to ensure no child or family goes without the basics they need to survive.

What is a Family Resource Center?
Imagine a place where anyone in the community can find support for where they are in their life without judgement. Anyone. A single parent, a youth with autism, people who are new to the community.

A family resource center is that place. The data shows an FRC impacts communities by decreasing the amount of money a community spends on child welfare, increases school readiness, promotes family economic success and most of all creates ongoing natural supports to build a thriving community.

Akin’s FRC is a community center with a twist. We have child and family counseling, wraparound services for families in mental health, parenting classes, school-based services, and LGBTQIA+ services. We have a tiny store open to all in the community which carries cleaning and hygiene supplies as well as diapers, clothing, and some food. We host family-fun nights each month. We host self-care nights for adults, lego building nights, and partner with local financial businesses to hold financial literacy classes for free. All of which are open to the community, not just our clients.

In the next few years, we plan to expand our FRC and host cooking classes, toddler and me classes, and tutoring opportunities. Community members would be able to volunteer to teach or help someone else. We are building and strengthening our relationships with other community partners to make real-time referrals and warm hand-offs, creating a one-stop for social services needs.
