Your One Stop to Community, Connection, & Empowerment
What started as emergency support has evolved into a large-scale, quarterly collaborative that connects people to the resources, services, and opportunities they need to achieve stability and quality employment.
Held in different communities across Pierce County, no two Collaboration For A Cause events are the same. Each event is tailored to the unique priorities, barriers, and strengths of the community it serves.
Since 2022, Collaboration For A Cause has served over 2,200 individuals and families and generated more than 3,000 direct referrals to workforce, housing, behavioral health, legal, financial, childcare, and other critical partners.

What to Expect When Attending
At Collaboration For A Cause, participants can expect a welcoming, supportive environment focused on helping you move forward in practical ways. You will have access to resume reviews, interview preparation, skill-building workshops, and direct connections to employers and training providers.
Community partners will be on-site to offer support with housing, childcare, behavioral health, legal needs, financial coaching, and other essential resources. The goal is to bring multiple systems together in one place so you do not have to navigate them alone.
Volunteers will be available throughout the event to help you get oriented, walk you through the space, and connect you with the partners and services that matter most to you. Whether you are focused on finding employment, building stability, or addressing immediate barriers, you will receive guidance from people who understand how challenging these systems can be. You will leave with tangible next steps such as referrals, scheduled appointments, program enrollments, tools, and resources designed to support growth, self-sufficiency, and long-term sustainability for you and your family.
