Social change occurs when individuals engage with their communities consistently and collaboratively. El Centro de la Raza encourages people to volunteer, support youth, families, and elders, and use their skills to help others. Volunteers are needed at El Centro de la Raza in Federal Way to provide free tax assistance, helping families retain more of their earnings for essential needs like food and housing.
Additionally, the #LightTheWorld Giving Machine allows donations for essentials such as clothing and food, with all contributions going directly to organizations like El Centro de la Raza. This initiative runs at Alderwood Mall until January 1, 2026.
El Centro de la Raza also invites donations to help maintain its vital programs throughout the year. Civic participation is essential for community empowerment, and individuals are encouraged to register to vote and ensure their information is current. Helping others register to vote can strengthen community representation and engagement.
