December 17, 2018 – Staff from Mainspring Wealth Advisors volunteered at the Eli Creekmore branch of Childhaven, one of our favorite local organizations.
The time was spent sorting toys, clothing and gifts of all sorts that had been generously donated to the organization. Each staff member was given a wish list for a child, and they had to “shop” from the donations to create gift bags containing items from the child’s wish list. Most staff worked on 4 to 5 wish lists.
Others helped check the values on gift cards that had been donated.
It was a very rewarding experience not only to work for such a great organization but to know you had a small part in bringing a smile to a child’s face for the holidays.

September 15 – For United Way Day of Caring, Mainspring volunteered at Acres of Diamonds in Duvall.
Acres is part of a larger response to the growing problem of women and children living in poverty in Western Washington. About half of the 20,000 homeless in Washington every night are families with children, with no safe place to lay their head, and little hope of breaking free from the entanglements that got them there. It is against these tremendous odds that Acres offers hope to women and children who find the courage to try to change their destiny. They serve families who are predominantly victims of domestic violence or substance abuse, and lifelong poverty.
At this year’s Day of Caring, we helped Acres of Diamonds with cleaning of the campus (painting, organizing, and yard work) and additional duties, weather permitting.

June 2 – Just another fun-filled day, working with one of our favorite organizations, Kindering. Associate Advisor Anna Shea, Director of Operations Tia Sanidad and Relationship Manager Shanel Konzelman volunteered at the Parent Child Home Program (PCHP) graduation and learning about this program that teaches families in need about the importance of early education. PCHP is an extensive school readiness program for children ages 2 to 4 and their parents. We learned that trained home visitors demonstrate important parenting skills, positive verbal interaction, and play in order to enhance their child’s development.
