Immanuel Community Services (ICS) provides assistance to individuals in the Cascade Neighborhood and greater Seattle area. ICS operates four programs: a Food Bank, a Community Lunch, a Hygiene Program, and a residential Recovery Program. Through all our programs, we strive to build relationships and be a place where people can become connected and involved. We work together, side-by-side, to maintain dignity, rekindle hope, and create a community of belonging.
Umpua Bank is partnering with Immanuel Community Services for a toiletry drive this holiday season. Please stop by our store on Westlake Avenue with your donations to share your spirit of giving, and together we can help those in need

Umpqua Bank's "We Heart Seattle" campaign allows consumers to show their appreciation of neighborhood businesses and organizations located in their community with real and virtual "love notes." Each heart shared acts as a vote.

Umpqua is located in 10 Seattle neighborhoods, all competing through Text, Facebook and Paper Heart voting to be 1 of the top 3 neighborhoods to win $10,000 toward a community-based project. Additionally, the winning organization in each neighborhood will win $1,000!

You can find paper hearts in 17 participating South Lake Union businesses as well as the Umpqua Bank on Westlake.

Help bring $10,000 to our community by submitting your voting before Dec. 16th!
