Our small but mighty St. Catherine/St. Ben's volunteer group had exactly one item on June 3: oranges du jour. We rose to the occasion and engaged in the Battle of the Oranges, wielding our weapons not of medieval swords but rather our hands - sorting and packing oranges from one-ton bins into 40 lb boxes. Working with volunteers from Boeing and others who were simply interested in conquering hunger, we all emerged the victors - 7680 lbs of oranges repacked and sorted. And a rather small amount was removed as inedible. Great work, volunteers.

Another event awaits - volunteer for this next session, and then rest easy on the 4th of July holiday, knowing you helped - in a small yet big way - to ease the burden of hunger:

 Wed July 1 6-8 pm South Park warehouse (815 S 96th St Seattle, WA 98108)

To register, just follow the link (create an account if you don't have one; it takes 2-3 min). Join the fun - and earn volunteer hours for your students out there. Children as young as 10 years old (w. parental accompaniment) can join.

Note that all volunteers must register in advance (FLL recommends 5 days prior).

Once you are registered, please consider carpooling on that Wed. We meet on the south side of St Benedict at 5:15 pm to sort out the carpooling. Traffic going south at that hour is quite slow, but 45 minutes always allows time to get to FLL by 6 pm. Don't hesitate to ask questions - and thank you for your volunteer work. Please advertise in your usual channels. And big thanks -Len K  ([email protected]). Please contact Len or Stacy Carter for  more info ([email protected])
