At SOUND Behavioral Health, supporting individuals and families on their path to recovery often means addressing needs that extend beyond behavioral health treatment. For clients facing food insecurity, housing instability, or other difficult circumstances, access to basic necessities can provide critical support during vulnerable moments.
Thanks to the generosity of employees at KPFF Consulting Engineers, SOUND's Northgate clinic is better equipped to meet those needs.
Last month, SOUND shared an urgent need for donations to replenish its Northgate food pantry, which had been left with completely bare shelves. KPFF employees quickly answered the call, purchasing food and essential supplies through SOUND's Amazon wish list. In less than a week, the pantry went from empty shelves to having resources available for clients and families.
The impact of that generosity was felt almost immediately. Just days after the donations began arriving, a SOUND clinician was helping a mother and her two young children leave an abusive domestic situation. While the clinician helped the family find a safe place to stay, they were starting over with little more than the clothes they were wearing. Thanks to the newly stocked pantry, SOUND was able to provide food and supplies for the family as they began their next chapter.
For SOUND's clinical teams, having resources like these readily available means being able to respond to clients' immediate needs alongside their behavioral health care.
And while the recent donations have already made a meaningful difference, the goal extends beyond a one-time effort. With KPFF's continued partnership, SOUND is working to establish a sustainable way to keep the Northgate pantry stocked and ensure essential resources remain available to those who need them.
Thank you, KPFF team, for stepping up to support our clients and demonstrating the difference community partnerships can make.

This month, I find myself reflecting on the power of partnership. Across our region, we have witnessed what is possible when communities come together around a shared vision. Seattle's successful role as a FIFA World Cup host city has showcased our region on a global stage and demonstrated the extraordinary impact of collaboration among businesses, community organizations, public agencies, volunteers, and civic leaders. We appreciated the opportunity, in coordination with King County, for SOUND’s Crisis Services team to contribute to the Behavioral Health Emergency Planning for the FIFA World Cup. Beyond the excitement of the tournament itself, the event has highlighted how collective effort can generate lasting economic opportunity, community pride, and positive outcomes that benefit us all.
