Our Story

Service came first.

CharisWorks grew from seeing needs both locally and globally—and believing that meaningful change begins when compassion is put into action.

Long before CharisWorks became an official organization, the spirit behind its mission was already being lived out through hands-on service, community outreach, personal giving, and helping people when needs arose.

Those experiences helped shape what would eventually become CharisWorks: an organization committed to meeting people where they are, connecting them with resources and opportunities, strengthening communities, and turning compassion into practical action.

Today, that spirit is carried forward through teamwork, community relationships, and meaningful partnerships. As CharisWorks grows, we will continue creating opportunities to serve and extend our reach locally and globally.

The Meaning Behind Our Name

Charis means grace.

Charis comes from the Greek word for grace—a word associated with kindness, generosity, and favor.

For us, grace is more than an idea. It is something expressed through action: showing up, serving others, sharing resources, creating opportunities, and working together to strengthen communities.

CharisWorks — Grace in Action.

Get Involved

There are many ways to put grace into action.

Support CharisWorks by volunteering, partnering with us, sharing resources and opportunities, or helping strengthen the work we do in communities locally and globally. For Thanksgiving 2026, we are exploring a small, donation-based food outreach initiative with local community partners in Kitsap County. Food banks, churches, businesses, and volunteers interested in discussing a potential partnership are welcome to contact us at info@charisworkswa.org. This initiative is in planning; no distribution has been confirmed.

Grace in Action

This is what service looks like.

Long before CharisWorks had a name, service was already happening through community outreach, church partnerships, international work, and practical help.

Today, that same spirit continues through teamwork, shared resources, and meaningful partnerships.
