Dawson Place: Making a Difference

Recently, CHFCU donated $1,000 to Dawson Place child Advocacy Center, supporting their mission of safety, justice, and healing for child abuse victims.

Dawson Place is a non-profit organization providing safety, justice and healing to victims of child physical and sexual abuse, assault and neglect. They provide every service needed for victims and their families to receive the help they need all in one child-friendly localized place. It minimizes the number of times a traumatized child has to tell a heartbreaking story, by bringing each needed professional for a case into one building, reducing the trauma a child experiences.

CHFCU has committed to fundraising on behalf of Dawson Place each summer, please keep an eye out in our lobby for donation boxes during the summer months if you would like to contribute! Dawson Place accepts year round cash donations or items from their wish list, learn more here!

Community Highlights: 2023/2024

December 2023, when the Arlington Food Bank was robbed of holiday meals, we responded by purchasing $500 of local beef to help replenish their supply.

July 2024, we volunteered and donated to Skagit Valley Regionals Annual Golf Par-Tee Fundraising Tournament. This tournament raised approximately $1.2 million for the Skagit Valley Regional Hospital Family Birth Center.

November 2023, we supported the local nurse's strike by providing snacks, hand warmers, and offering special loans for those in need.
