For this year's One World, Many Voices season, the Masterworks Choral Ensemble selected The Family Support Center as the “spotlight agency” of their Spring Concert.

Masterworks Choral Ensemble (MCE) believes in giving back to the community that supports us. They believe in using the power of music to give "voice" and support to local organizations that contribute to the betterment of our community. The SPOTLIGHT program honors organizations that have made a significant contribution to our community. Through the SPOTLIGHT program, MCE strives to increase each group's visibility and enable them to receive donations at each of our concerts. For these organizations and the people they serve, music will make a difference.

We are very honored to have been selected.

Many thanks to area Rotary Clubs - West Olympia, Lacey, South Puget Sound and Capitol/Centennial!

Their unique inter-club partnership resulted in a $20,000 grant to help prevent family homelessness in Thurston County. Local Rotary clubs helped raise $10,000; an additional $10,000 in matching funds came from Rotary District 5020 through the Bill and Melinda Gates Family Foundation’s Family Homelessness Initiative. Grant funds allowed for an expansion of Homeless Family Services and Family Resource Services (homelessness prevention) programs to help meet increasing community needs.

“Thanks you, Rotarians. Working together brings about amazing results for local families!” remarked Rachael Langen-Lundmark, Family Support Center Board President.
