Dear Young Life Family,
Fall is in full swing across the Greater Puyallup Metro, and God is doing some amazing things! Last month, we gathered our community for our annual fundraising banquet, The Taste - Young Life Edition, celebrating the incredible impact of Young Life and the community of volunteers, business partners, champions, and generous supporters who make it possible for us to continue the story!
Clubs and Campaigners are rolling, and we currently know 547+ kids by name, with 60 leaders serving across our area, plus 16 new volunteer leaders joining the team (team leaders, adult leaders, student leaders, and club helpers). We also kicked off the season with our Fall High School Mega Club, bringing together more than 40 students from across our area for fun-filled evening! We’re excited to see how God continues to work in the lives of kids this year!

What a night to remember! The Taste – Young Life Edition brought our community together for an evening filled with incredible local vendors, delicious food, meaningful connections, and a whole lot of fun. Together, we raised over $101,000, including $76,000 in one-time gifts from those who attended that evening. We also welcomed 22 new monthly recurring donors to our community of supporters.
We are so grateful for everyone who attended, gave generously, and helped make this night possible. There are still more kids to reach! Your financial support makes it possible for more leaders to be sent out so that more kids can experience Young Life - where they are known, loved, and introduced to Jesus.
Thank you for being part of the story as it continues!

Pumpkin Patch Club | Capernaum
|
Our Capernaum friends enjoyed a fall outing to the pumpkin patch! From taking in the fall sights to spending time together, it was a sweet opportunity to make memories, share laughs, and celebrate the season as a community. We are so grateful for moments like these where friendships grow and everyone has a place to belong.

Senior at Orting High School

"What started as a small club I attended to hang out with my buddies, turned into the biggest part of my life. When the Orting Young Life stopped gathering together, it felt like Young Life was long and gone. But then I got involved with the Sumner Young Life and ended up at Malibu in Canada with them. Now I'm a student leader at Lakeridge serving middle schoolers and hopefully leading them towards Jesus."
