The Power of Local Impact
RM Home Specialists • February 11, 2026

Our Day with Raising Girls Foundation.


There are moments in this work that ground you in something bigger than business. Last week was one of those moments.

Our team had the honor of spending a few meaningful hours with Raising Girls Foundation, a Tacoma-based nonprofit serving local school districts by providing hygiene bags to students—boys and girls— who might otherwise go without these basic essentials.


As a team, we recently committed to a quarterly give-back, combining a monetary donation with a hands-on community service day. We wanted our giving to be intentional, local, and tangible. Something we could participate in together and invite our community into.


Last week, that vision came to life.


More than 20 past clients, friends, and local business owners joined us to pack hygiene bags alongside Sharon, the founder of Raising Girls Foundation. In just a couple of hours, we sorted and merchandised donations, packed bags for local schools, and listened to the stories behind the need.


We laughed.
We cried.
We worked up a sweat.

And we left changed.


What stood out most was how essential this work truly is. Hygiene isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s a basic human need, one that directly impacts a child’s confidence, health, social experience, and ability to show up successfully at school. When students don’t have access to these essentials, it affects far more than just their day; it affects their sense of belonging and dignity.

Spending time in this space reminded me of the need right here in our community and the power of responding locally. It also reinforced something we deeply believe: when people come together with shared intention, real impact happens.


We’re incredibly grateful to Sharon and the Raising Girls Foundation team for welcoming us, trusting us, and allowing us to be part of this important work. This is just the beginning for us — and we’re committed to continuing to show up, give back, and bring others along.


If you’re interested in donatinglearning more, or joining one of our upcoming hygiene bag packing days, we’d love to have you.
