The Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce is teaming up with See Ya Later Foundation, The Auburn Food Bank, and Foster Champs of Washington to host our first-ever "Coffee for a Cause" event. This event, which is a testament to our strong community spirit, will not only serve the needs of our partners but also significantly contribute to the growth and welfare of the great Auburn business community. Provide awareness and financial support to the following non-profit organizations.

Auburn Food Bank: The mission of the Auburn Food Bank is to provide food and other resources to individuals in need within the Auburn School District.

Foster Champs of Washington: Foster Champs supports local foster, adoptive, and kinship families. Our mission is to bridge the gap between what these families deserve and what they receive. We believe in nurturing and advocating for foster families in King and Pierce County.

See Ya Later Foundation: Through its Seeds of Hope program, the See Ya Later Foundation supports local families with children facing an acute, life-threatening medical crisis. The team provides essential assistance in several ways, including gift cards for gas and groceries, financial support, and opportunities for family bonding experiences at local attractions.
