Take Action: Show Up for Community Change
Social change happens when everyday people show up—locally, consistently, and together. At El Centro de la Raza, taking action means volunteering your time, supporting youth, families, and elders, and lending your skills where they’re needed most. There are many ways to get involved right now—and each one makes a real difference.
Volunteer in Federal Way: Support Free Tax Assistance
Volunteers are needed at El Centro de la Raza – Federal Way to help neighbors save time and money through free tax assistance. With your support, families can keep more of their hard-earned income for essentials like food, rent, childcare, and transportation. This is a powerful way to strengthen financial stability in our community.

Give Through the #LightTheWorld Giving Machine
The #LightTheWorld Giving Machine may look like a vending machine—but instead of snacks, you’re giving real help to real people. With just a few taps, you can donate essentials such as clothing, food, medicine, school supplies, or livestock for families in need. Every purchase prints a receipt, and 100% of your donation goes directly to participating organizations, including El Centro de la Raza.
