Volunteer: WEDNESDAY volunteer opportunity

M’Eliz and Sally’s Wednesday Dinner Community Kitchen (mostly OUUC) team at the Salvation Army team is looking for volunteers to expand our teams!  We cover every Wednesday except the 2nd. 

Kitchen staff create the main dish and we put together veggies, salad, fruit, bread, and dessert for that night’s dinner. The Community  Kitchen is not serving meals indoors at this time, so the volunteer team assembles individual meals in containers that are handed to the clients outside. We serve 100 – 200 dinners each night. 

TEAM A (cook & serve)  1st, 3rd, and 5th Wednesdays – 3 – 6:30 pm cook and serve

TEAM B (serve only) 4th Wednesday – 4:30 – 6:30 

Contact M’Eliz or Sally if you would like more information or to sign up!

 

Advocate: 

    1. From WA Coalition for Police Accountability, a request to please reach out to your legislators and ask them to sign on to sponsor Rep. Thai’s Civil Liability bill HB 1025.
    2. Get ready for the legislative session with the Faith Action Network
      1. Thursday, January 5, 6:00-7:00 pm, online, FAN 2023 Legislative Preview, an overview of what to expect this session, and FAN’s legislative agenda. Register for the Zoom link here.
