Coe Cares

Coe Cares is a program that has two primary areas of focus 

Coe Cares primary focus is supporting Coe families in times of financial or emotional hardship, ensuring that all Coe families and students can participate in school and school-adjacent activities.

Coe Cares also focuses on developing leaders for the future: organizing school food, book, and supply drives for local non-profit organizations, and hosting service and connection opportunities in Queen Anne and the broader Seattle community.
