SEATTLE ANGELS
Seattle Angels is a nonprofit organization transforming the foster care experience in the Puget Sound Region. Since Seattle Angels was founded, we’ve been driven by one clear belief: children and youth in foster care thrive when they have consistent relationships and a strong community around them. The challenges facing foster care are real and complex – but we are hopeful. We know what works, we see progress every day, and it’s made possible by dedicated partners, volunteers, and supporters like you. When we walk alongside children, youth, and families together, lasting change isn’t just possible – it’s already happening.

The Ronald McDonald House is a comfortable, stable, free place for families to stay while their children undergo treatment at Seattle Children’s or the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC).
