Who Are We?

True Blessings non-profit main goal is to operate and maintain outreach, support, mentor, and resource services for low-income families, youth, and immigrants in Pierce County. Our mission is to "bridge the Gap in family needs by endorsing, influencing, and supporting families, immigrants, and/or youth in decreasing generational property". Below are descriptions of each target area that make up the foundation of True Blessing programs and services.

Our mission

True Blessing provides culturally responsive support to families, youth, and immigrants in low income areas. We endorse and influence self-sufficient skills that aid in healthy and sustainable independence. Our one-on-one progressive case management proves to be the key component to bridging the gap in families, immigrants, and youth needs. Clients receive progressive case management services and are screened for imminent risk of unhoused or essential needs. Our agency provides a sense of trust and security to all clients no matter their gender, color, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Our ability to relate and demonstrate self-sufficiency plays a significant role in the success of many of our clients escaping generational poverty.

Our vision

Establish community outreach programs and partner with private and non-private sectors in Pierce and South King County. We target unhoused youth and/or families who face generational poverty in surrounding communities. We provide homeless prevention services and skills to move youth, immigrants, and/or families who face generational poverty in surrounding communities. Services include but are not limited to; resources to short-term rental assistance, housing relocation services, moving cost assistance, credit counseling, counseling services, emergency food, progressive one-on-one case management, low-cost creative arts programs, and support & advocacy services. We estimate that many youths, immigrants, and/or families will need progressive case management support services to help them become aware and self-independent. We envision healthy, diverse communities in South King, Pierce County, where all people thrive.

Our work

Our resource service provides and connects clients with local private and non-private organizations available in their community. Our support services are modeled to support clients while providing hope and restoration to become self-sufficient. Clients receive resource services that connect them with local case managers, document reading assistants, advocacy specialists, youth support specialists, creative arts foundations, transportation services support, financial planning advocates, and employment assistance programs. These services are available to youth and/or families who feel they need support when following up with CPS, court, school, jobs, and Doctor appointments etc. Our case management services/skills provide strength and courage to True Blessings clients that face life-changing events . Clients who receive all services provided by True Blessing demonstrate and apply self-awareness and self-independence within their community

Outreach

True Blessings outreach services are modeled to reach out to clients in areas without many family services. Our outreach services bring awareness to how families can sustain and move towards self-sufficiency.

True Blessing currently holds a No Child Left Unfed Fund for all True Blessing clients. This NCLU fund is available to children who have a negative meal account balance at the school where they attend. The reason for this fund is to support families who struggle to make ends meet. Many times, the child is faced with a negative meal account balance and is subject to crackers, a sandwich, and milk for the day. This fund is centered on making sure that the children can be successful in school and the parents can receive support when transitioning in and out of unforeseen circumstances.

Wrapped with Love Blanket Drive, we collect brand-new blankets and/or sleeping bags for those who are less fortunate or unhoused. As you may know, families transition in and out shelters, losing belongings and valuable items forcing them to start over or find new ways to adapt. Through the True Blessing outreach program, we would like to extend the possibility for parents, children, and the homeless to receive a warm blanket just for them. Generous donations will be distributed to low-income families who make up a huge population of un-housed people today in Pierce and South King County. True Blessing Wrapped with Love Blanket Drive, a wonderful way to give back to the community while expressing compassion and concern for a population of people. This blanket Drive will demonstrate aspects of how well organizations are connected and what it looks like to demonstrate community outreach within a community.
