Washington Kids in Transition

WAKITS was established in 2015 with the simple goal of providing food for homeless students of the Edmonds School District on their bus ride home. Very quickly it became apparent that hungry students were just a symptom of a larger poverty gap in Snohomish County, affecting education access for hundreds of families across a wide array of barriers. These include housing and rental assistance, emergency food, hygiene, toiletries, school supplies and emergency clothing and shoes.
