My name is Trina Henderson. I have been in Thurston County for over 20 years. I started my bookkeeping business during the lockdown in 2020. I love that I can help business owners in the state of Washington. I’ve been married for 7 years in July 2024. My husband and I have a child and one more that will be here at the end of August 2024.
I am involved with AKW, because I have seen kids that I went to school with that were struggling and now many many years later it has gotten worse. It is a privilege to be part of the board of AKW and volunteering, it is so rewarding giving back to the community that I love so much.
In 2020 when I saw AKW in action handing out food bags to many kids at our school, Salish Middle School, my heart had to know more. Right away I got the opportunity to join a bagging party where I could see how many volunteers it took to make this happen every single week. Being a mother to four of my own kids, I was so grateful to know there was an organization helping kids make it through the weekend with full bellies. I couldn’t imagine the struggle of feeding my own four if there wasn’t a resource like this. Thankfully we are able to support All Kids Win by volunteering and I joined the board. As a local business owner, getting connected to the community matters to me! Finding ways to help youth be successful is so important – future community leaders are often born out of these circumstances. I love being a part of a community that focuses on real help for youth!!
