Serve Day 2021

Thank you to all who organized, donated, and participated! 

We Love Our City, ministry of Family Life Community Church, participated in a nationwide SERVE DAY! 100+ volunteers divided into teams & picked up litter (30+ bags) mowed at the Hylebos Blueberry Farm, hosted a kids event at Town Square Park (with free ice cream) and The Lodge Apartments. Cards were written and treats/drinks delivered to the Federal Way Police Dept, South King Fire & Rescue, and Avalon Care Center. Volunteers also hosted a kid’s booth at the FW Farmers Market. Another large team went to the Light of Christ Community Garden where they weeded, picked up trash at the neighboring Park & Ride and assisted with the annual garage sale. Windows were washed at FUSION. After ALL that, teams met at the FW Farmers Market for food, cold drinks, and shopping! Books (for the community libraries), socks for the FW Day Center, and food for the FWSC Food bank were collected and will be distributed this week.

In addition, We Love Our City is partnering with Bloodworks for a blood drive through July 24. Call 1-800-398-7888 and don’t forget to give them our code #0235.

Donate as One

 Give blood. Impact our community. 

Donating blood remains a critical and safe activity for community health. Although an estimated 38 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood at any given time, less than 10 percent do so annually. Your one-hour donation appointment is a safe and essential action to support local hospitals. Each donation can help save up to three lives! Will you lead by example and make a commitment to donate today? 

We Love Our City is leading by example and sponsoring a Virtual Blood Drive from July 9 – 24. 

We are challenging you to be a Life-Saving Hero and donate between these dates at any donor center or Pop-Up and make your impact count. 

Step 1. Make your appointment today. Find your nearest donation site here or call 1-800-398-7888. 

Step 2. On the day of your donation let the registrar know that you are donating on behalf of We Love Our City.  Mention We Love Our City or the code 0253 when you arrive to your appointment.
