DONATION DRIVE: Alki UCC (6115 SW Hinds) welcomes drop-off donations, 11 am-3 pm. Here’s the request:

Where can our neighbors go if they become homeless and have no supplies for living outside? Individuals of all ages and families of all backgrounds face this dilemma each and every month.

Do you have any camping gear that someone else can use? Our priority needs include clean and operable tents, sleeping bags, cooking equipment, tarps, ropes, stakes and small propane tanks, etc. Your donations of food, clothing and outdoor gear are distributed through the Westside Interfaith Network Saturday lunch, hosted in White Center.
