Yelm Community Services became a vehicle and vessel title and licensing sub-agency in 1978. Today, Yelm Community Services is one of nine sub-agents located in Thurston County and one of just a few nonprofit organizations in the State of Washington who provide vehicle and vessel title and licensing.
When you renew your tabs or transfer your title at Yelm Community Services, you are providing a unique form of public support for your community’s food bank. Since 1978, the primary source of revenue for all activities of the agency has been generated from customers, like you, who buy their tabs and transfer their titles at Yelm Community Services.
When you buy your tabs here, you are helping to give a bag of groceries to a senior in need. You are helping to buy gifts for kids during the holiday.
