Community Programs
GGB Shelter Support Network
Be Kind 5 is proud to continue supporting our local shelter community—a commitment that began in 2009 and remains at the heart of our mission. Through the GGB Shelter Support Network, we provide resources, care, and opportunities for individuals and families in need, while creating meaningful ways for people of all ages to give back.
This program offers hands-on experiences that make a real difference, including:
✔ Designing and enhancing shelter spaces to create welcoming environments
✔ Collecting essential items for families and individuals
✔ Organizing community drives and volunteer projects
Every initiative is a chance to spread kindness and build stronger communities.

Financial Literacy Support for Shelters
At Be Kind 5, we believe that financial empowerment is a cornerstone of stability and independence. That’s why we partner with shelters across the Puget Sound region to provide accessible, practical financial literacy programming for individuals and families navigating challenging circumstances.
Our goal is to help shelter residents build confidence in managing money, understanding budgeting, and planning for a secure future. Through interactive workshops, one-on-one guidance, and curated resources, we make financial education approachable and actionable.
We understand that shelters need consistent, reliable support to sustain these programs. Be Kind 5 is here to help your organization integrate financial literacy into its services—creating pathways for long-term empowerment and resilience.
Let’s work together to break cycles of financial insecurity.
Reach out today, and we’ll help you find the tools, partnerships, and ongoing support needed to make this vital programming a reality.
