In December 2020, the Vancouver-based Chabad Jewish Center of Clark County launched the ARK Clark County campaign, selling piggy bank-like plastic boxes in an effort to encourage community members to give to people or organizations in need.

City of Washougal leaders heard about the campaign, thought it would be a perfect fit for their ongoing wellness initiative and purchased 100 charity boxes. The city plans to distribute the boxes to employees over the next several weeks.
