Volunteer Additional Flood Relief to Organic Farms- Next Week, Dec 17-22, 2007

The Gleaners Coalition is continuing to organize clean-up crews for farms experiencing extensive flood damage in the Thurston and Lewis County areas. Come help our food bank donors and local growers get back on their feet!

Put on your muck boots and join a work party Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and/or Friday of next week, December 17-22, 2007. We will meet folks daily at 9:30AM at our downtown office (see address below) and at The Evergreen State College in parking lot C. We plan to finish each afternoon around 4:00PM.

Bring heavy rain/mud gear, water, food (for yourself is good, to share is even better!), and your most fabulous attitude. We will provide rides for those who need them, and we also very much welcome volunteers who are willing to drive.

For additional information, contact the Gleaners at 360-705-0193.
