Washington State Medal of Valor ceremony awarded to Donnie Chin
“Donnie watched over us for nearly 50 years. He saved hundreds of lives and made the world a better place. He was humble and thought that he was just doing his job. Donnie ultimately gave his life protecting our community. He was our hero, our brother, our friend. He was a hero, but not for how he died but how he lived.” (Connie Magorty, February 21, 2024)
Donnie Chin was awarded the Washington State Medal of Valor at a ceremony in the Washington State Capitol Building on Wednesday morning –A bittersweet and emotional gathering to honor and remember our beloved CID guardian angel and hero, Donnie Chin. Thanks to Donnie’s sister, Connie, for helping everyone understand who Donnie was and what he meant to our CID community. And thanks to Washington State Representative, Sharon Tomiko Santos, for nominating him.

2023 Gift Drive! ~ Thank you donors, supporters, volunteers, CID and InterIm CDA
The Chinatown International District is one of the most impoverished communities in Seattle. InterIm CDA serves many of the neighborhood’s low-income, immigrant, refugee, Asian, and Pacific Islander residents through all our community-building programs and services. To further provide emotional and material support, InterIm initiated an end-of-the-year gift drive for our clients and community residents.
InterIm CDA and CID residents would like to thank our supporters for the many thoughtful gifts we received. We initially hoped to get 200 gifts for our gift drive; however, with our supporters’ help, we could provide 441 clients and residents with gifts. We would also like to thank the score of volunteers who helped to organize our holiday party and wrap, transport, and hand out gifts.
The gifts embraced and provided cheer for many of the recipients. We are grateful for those who participated in this effort to make the holiday season and New Year good for our community.
