Saturday Morning Weekly Report

There was a hint of a sunrise as we arrived at Trinity this morning.  Even a few minutes of longer daylight are welcome and offer promise. A beautiful part of our early mornings is a busy kitchen.  Here is a photo of the team from Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Congregation who prepared burritos this morning.  Their […]

We had a “sizable” crowd for our first Saturday of the month and the year.  Jude, John and their team gave grocery bags to 30 Neighbors and to 3 families.   How is our giving to Neighbors different from giving to families?  We volunteers bag ready-to-eat foods for our Neighbors.  This includes  cereals, “self-heating dinners”, individual

It was a privilege to end the year in service and companionship with each other and with our Neighbors. We were able to give groceries, salads, and sandwiches to 30 Neighbors and one family.  Just as important….. we provided space for our Neighbors to be at tables together to visit over coffee or hot chocolate. 

Can you help?  As you well know, our next Neighbors in Need Saturday is Christmas Eve.  We need extra help.  We have Christmas gift bags to fill and distribute, help with setting up and/or breaking down, food distribution, and very importantly, listening to our Neighbors on this sentimental day.  We would love your company for the entire

Please forgive the ooohhh and aaahh of this report.  It was definitely a day full of blessings of gifts and coincidences. Humble thanks to Gloria Dei Lutheran Church for including Neighbors in Need on their congregation’s giving tree.  Members of that congregation gifted our Neighbors with blankets, gloves, combs and brushes, personal grooming supplies such as

It was a bitter cold and risky walking/driving morning!  (Just to point out the obvious)  Many thanks to Susan for making our entry much safer! Cathy, Tony, and Dari, our Trinity burrito team, were on hand to prepare hot burritos for our Neighbors.  We served 35 Neighbors and 2 families – not only with groceries,

“Life is good unless we make it hard”  This is a reflection from a man who has been a Neighbor since our first Saturday mornings with early morning coffee and sweet rolls.  After all of these years, he found the trust to accept resources (and responsibility).  Praise God for each volunteer who offers food, donated

Our second week inside and again more Neighbors!!  Actually, we lost count of the food bags that we gave out.  We know for sure that it was more than 55.  Nice work food distribution team!!  Your awareness of the increased need and quick filling of additional bags meant no hungry Neighbor had to wait.  Sadly,

What a perfect day to invite our Neighbors inside!!    The word is beginning to spread…  Jude, Sarah, and Kim handed out 47 bags of food.  Our Neighbors, at their leisure, visited with each other, ate their burritos and enjoyed second cups of coffee.  Many thanks to Gloria Dei Lutheran for preparing the burritos.  They upped

Another non-stop, never-sit-down day!  It was truly a beautiful fall morning (maybe a little smoke).  Praise God for the volunteers who welcome our Neighbors as if into their own kitchens.  It is truly heartwarming.  WE WELCOME AND NEED RETURNING AND NEW VOLUNTEERS!!  Thank you to the team from Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Church for the early morning preparation
