Tri-Cities Community Connections: A Legacy of Service and Growth
For over 15 years, Tri-Cities Community Connections (TCCC) has been dedicated to supporting communities in need. Established in 2008 by the leadership of Hillspring Church, TCCC was created to explore and respond to the evolving needs of East Kennewick. While the vision to extend beyond the local church and into the broader community remains steadfast, it has grown in scope to meet the dynamic challenges of our area.
In 2024, TCCC underwent a board restructuring to better align the organization with the increasing needs of East Kennewick and East Pasco. This transformation underscores our commitment to being a community-based organization that responds directly to the ever-changing needs of the people we serve.
Our Purpose
We are devoted to promoting educational and economic development in East Kennewick and East Pasco. These objectives come to life through various initiatives:
STEM Hands on Experience
Sewing Training
After School Matters (ASM):
One of our foundational programs, ASM, has provided critical educational support to students at Eastgate Elementary in Kennewick. This fall, TCCC will expand its impact by partnering with Ochoa Middle School in East Pasco as a PEAK sponsor, with discussions underway to collaborate with additional schools in the future.
Sewing Centers:
As part of our commitment to economic development, TCCC is working to establish sewing centers that serve as both teaching facilities and economic opportunities for the community. We aim to open our first center in 2025.
