Tukwila Parks and Recreation has joined forces with the Tukwila School District and the Rotary Club of SeaTac-Tukwila for the 2025 Spirit of Giving Campaign. Together, we can reduce financial stress for caregivers and help create a time of ease and joy for Tukwila children.

Why help?

This is your chance to help Tukwila families in need as we enter the winter season.
This program relies on gifts and cash for care packages. Last year, with your help, we raised $47,000 in goods and monetary gifts. These generous donations supported 460 youth and their families!
This year we expect to serve even more children. WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Special toys, cozy items, hygiene essentials, and grocery gift cards to ensure a healthy, happy winter.

This year, let’s help even more children! Together, WE can support this critical giving program.

Grocery Gift Cards
Cozy Items (blankets, mittens, gloves, hats, scarves, and socks)
