We survived!

A huge shout out to all our city workers who worked long hours to keep us safe. Another HUGE shout out to community churches, shelters and citizens that worked hard to provide for neighbors and those in need. Sharing rides, clothing, food, getting folks out of ditches, providing ORCA cards and lodging, etc. You know who you are…THANK YOU!!!

FW Cares for Kids Christmas Party

December 15

Lakota’s gym will be transformed into a festive environment where parents will be invited to come shop, at no cost, for gifts for their children, ages 1 to 18, which they will then wrap, with the help of volunteers. As the parents are shopping, students will be provided with an opportunity to create gifts for someone important to them (parent, grandparent, guardian). We are planning on serving 270 families and estimate 1,200 children will be present at this event.

Volunteers needed for set-up (on December 14), clean-up, greeting, children’s activities, personal shopping for parents & gift wrapping.

Save the Farm!

Come rain or shine!

The park is on the brink of being overgrown & lots of help will be needed to clear blackberry bushes, trim, weed, remove trees, spread chips etc. It is a treasure in this community & we want to see it flourish!

Here’s how you can help:

  • Come volunteer!
  • Donate money towards the restoration efforts.
  • Donate food, snacks or water bottles for the volunteers.

This will be an ongoing project. We are happy to help facilitate any volunteers at any time.
