R.A.P has also shown the ability to work effectively and cooperatively with Local, County and State entities. To include King County Best Starts for Kids, The City of Kent, Human Resources, and Washington State of Children and Youth Families. RAP has extensive experience working with King County Public Health on health education and awareness and processes to help low income communities respond to health concerns in their community. We have a strong reputation of providing spaces, training expertise, communication processes and outreach and engagement to these valued community members and have been successful in creating communities for change in various arenas in Kent. We have participated in the Lead Awareness program training and educating BIPOC community members to be advocates for their communities for three years. We have participated in the king County Voter Registration Awareness campaign , and also providing ongoing food distribution and COVID 19 Emergency Relief in King County providing ancillary services such a utility, rent, stress relief, furniture, individual and family counseling to families from the specific marginalized communities for the past four years. These services have intensified during the COVID pandemic and we are currently providing assistance to these communities.
The crux of the Restore Assemble Produce (R.A.P.) philosophy consists of a dynamic R.A.P. which refers to as: “active caring”. This denotes the active implementation of caring actions, attitudes, and speech that are deliberate and intentional to recognize and address the racial, social, economic, cultural, equitable and mental and spiritual care and concerns of youth, parents, and community. Active caring does not insist that everyone or some people do not care.
What it is saying is that words are not enough. “We must go deeper”. The R. A.P. foundational and organizational values instill an ethos that any program and strategy must lead with a policy of LOVE, active caring. This means also identifying what the real issues are and go beyond the band-aid to address problems and to dig deeper to explore the “why” questions and provide restorative answers to bring authentic healing to our communities. Therefore, Restore Assemble Produce is built on three Pillars.
