Food Drive: July 18 & 19 for Rainier Valley Food BankHello Neighbors! I hope the summer finds you all well, warm and happy. It is Safeway Food Drive time again — and for those of you who have braved volunteering in 38 degree weather in the past, I'm hoping you'll be thrilled with the idea of volunteering in 75 degree weather! The Safeway drives tend to be busy and lively — so this is a great activity to do with the kids, with friends or with your boy or girl scout troop. We need a large number of volunteers for these drives, so I hope you will join us. Here are the details. Where: Safeway at 3820 Rainier Ave S Thanks so much for all of your help! I look forward to seeing you at the food drive. |

Rainier Valley Heritage FestivalAugust 8th is the Rainier Valley Heritage Festival, and Sustainable South Seattle is going to need some helping hands to give sustainability the attention it deserves. This year it will take place in conjunction with a Car Free Day on Rainier, and will include good food, music, a street soccer game and whatever else the community brings to the street. Sustainable South Seattle is hoping to maximize recycling and composting, host an alternative vehicle rally, show a solar panel demonstration, create Undriver's Licenses and give folks an opportunity to plan a bucket garden to take home. To top it off, we're organizing a wheel barrow drill team for the parade. In order to pull this off, we'll need lots of help the day of. If you can donate a few hours of your time on August 8th to help with one of these great activities, please contact Josie Clark at moc.oohay|eisojkralc#moc.oohay|eisojkralc. Thank you!
