Under the effort and direction of Daniel Hooker, the Clothing Drive has been running for ten years, for the past 2½ years at the Food Bank. Distribution takes place on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
As mentioned in last month’s issue, Daniel is retiring from running this program. Thank you for your service all these years!
Granny’s Attic and the Food Bank are taking over running the Clothing Drive. Two volunteers have joined a third to help with this service. Thank you, Caelan Angell, Mo, and Mary Ashby! Three more volunteers would be ideal to spread out the work. Please consider taking part in this essential Island service. Contact Granny’s Attic at vashongrannysattic.org or the Vashon Food Bank at (206) 463-6332 or vashonfoodbank.org for more information.
Thank you for your donations, especially as we head into winter. Bedding and winter gear, gloves and socks, are especially needed. Also needed are cash donations to help pay for gas used by volunteers as they collect and transport the Clothing Drive donations.
And thank you to Granny’s Attic and the Vashon Food Bank for your commitment to keeping the Clothing Drive going!
