Tacoma Community House

Tacoma Community House celebrated their 115th anniversary with balloons, cake and a facility packed with staff, board members and supporters. Staff were recognized who had been with this National Mission Institution for 10, 20 and 30 years!  They didn’t just look back at their accomplishments since 1910, they celebrated the difference they are making in their community now and their bright future!

They have recently expanded the outreach of the TCH to Parkland in Pierce County.  Aimee Khuu, Executive Director, was quoted in the Tacoma Weekly,  “Unemployment is higher and the percentage of individuals with a high school diploma or college education is lower than broader Pierce County.  Heart disease rates are higher in Parkland than the county or Washington generally. The Health Department attributes this to poverty, trauma, stress, racism, air pollution, access to food and medical services, in addition to tobacco use.”  TCH is starting with two healthcare workers in January who will join the Center for Strong Families, which opened last October, coaching low-income families to help them reach their financial goals.

I was especially impacted by talking to Viktorlia Tkachov, a recent immigrant from Ukraine who is now an employment coach.  Viktorlia said, “I am always inspiring our clients and sharing my story of how I struggled with English and other obstacles.  TCH is an amazing place where immigrants can start their lives from scratch, like I did.”

What a blessing it is to have Tacoma Community House located in our conference!
