Hi, I'm Kelley Kirkpatrick, the current President of the Washington State Forensics Association.

As the speech and debate season gets going in our state, many of our students are facing unprecedented food insecurity. As they learn about how our governement works and the importance of public policy, many of our best students are facing the impacts of government inaction at home.

We are hoping to purchase VIsa giftcards for $25 for students who need the help while attending speech and debate tournaments in our state. The WSFA Board will oversee the dispersment of funds; anything unused will be saved for future programs of this nature.

Thank you for considering us for your donation dollars-- no students should have to choose between speech and debate or food. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
