The Kirkland Downtown Association is committed to fostering relationships and giving to organizations that address social and economic needs in our community. A group of downtown merchants, led by “A” Liengboonlertchai owner of Simplicity Décor, have come together to assist three non-profits during this holiday season. In the month of December, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, shops at participating businesses and 10-15 percent of proceeds will go to benefit Hopelink, MEOW Cat Rescue, and Kirkland Teen Union Building. Your generosity helps us make a difference by building better communities. Please do what you can with an intention of compassion, kindness and a spirit of generosity and watch what happens.

From Dec. 1-2, Kirkland Teen Union Building; Dec. 8-9, Hopelink; and Dec. 15-16 for MEOW. The following merchants are participating in this event: Simplicity Décor, Herban Wellness, Bella Tesori, Bella Bambini, Lai Thai Restaurant, Simplicity Salon, Ragamoffin, Lakeshore Gallery, Soul Ease Spa, Park Lane Gallery, uBRDO, Romax Shoes, Mu Shoe, Howard Mandville Gallery, Linda Lu’s Consignment Boutique and Acupuncture & Chiropractic Integrative Clinic.
