Beware of scammers impersonating government officials in an attempt to take advantage of individuals impacted by the government shutdown. If you get an unexpected message — whether by phone, email, text or social media — take a moment to pause and think before responding. Scammers often create a sense of pressure, urging quick action to “protect your benefits” or “secure your finances.” Your best defense is to slow down, stay calm and double-check the source. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to hang up or ignore the message. Legitimate organizations won’t ask for personal or financial information out of the blue. Pause, verify and protect yourself. Learn more at this link: https://lnkd.in/gAsaRxcT

We had a power-packed time at the Heroes for Housing annual fundraising breakfast supporting our longtime partner, Homes First! Since 1990, Homes First has helped over 5,000 low and very low-income Thurston County, WA, community members find safe, clean, affordable and long-term rental housing with respect and dignity. This year is testing Homes First in ways they never saw coming. Community support is needed to help them address their urgent funding struggles. Thank you for making a difference!

Help us show the world why Washington is one of the most giving states in the nation during the First Week to Give!

Let's come together to support our communities! ☕💚
