Community Involvement

SCCC offenders participate in various activities that support the community. The Inside/Out organization puts together fundraisers for community charity groups such as the Children's Advocacy Center of Grays Harbor, Coastal Community Action Program, Habitat for Humanity, and the Grays Harbor Food Bank Distribution Center. “Bicycles from Heaven” works with the Grays Harbor Lions Club to donate like-new bikes to the community. Offenders receive old bikes and bike parts, refurbish them and donate them to the Lions Club for distribution to individuals in need, with over 1,000 bikes being distributed throughout Grays Harbor County to date. Offenders also participate in Outreach, crocheting hats and blankets and donating them to community agencies such as the United Gospel Mission, the Nursery at the local hospital, and the United Way Coat/Blanket Drive. Through Toy Time, offenders make toys to donate to the community for children during the holidays. These donations go to the Children's Advocacy Center and the Christmas for Kids in Grays Harbor program.
