Our Mission
“To Provide Individuals with Disabilities the Support Needed to Lead Full and Meaningful Lives.
Kokua is a non-profit, residential support agency that serves adults with disabilities. Since 1990, we proudly provide Supported Living Services in the Thurston County area.
“I've been a guardian for a Kokua client since 2008. Not only does Kokua provide excellent services for my family member, they have also included me as an integral part of his team. Kokua's professionalism is exceeded only by their deep concern and loving, compassionate care of my loved one. Through our journey together, I have forged friendships with both staff and clients. My life, and the life of my family member, is richer for knowing that he is in the best care, in a loving, safe environment with people whom we both know and trust.”
