churches, individuals, city officials and groups
have been working to coordinate a support network
for Tent City 4 which is located on property provided
by the City of Woodinville beside SR522.
Evening meals are being served by volunteers
from the Northshore United Church of Christ,
the Church of Latter-day Saints, Woodinville
Unitarian Universalist Church; Bear Creek United
Methodist Church, Cottage Lake Presbyterian,
and Bothell’s Emmanuel Presbyterian Church.
Individual volunteers from the Northshore are
also making meals. Other organizations and churches
are encouraged to join the meal schedule for
the coming weeks.
Community volunteers and local merchants also
are donating transportation, laundry facilities,
and other needs identified by TentCity 4 residents
and organizers. Many of the residents work during
the day or are seeking jobs and trying to save
money for rent deposits, so they particularly
appreciate assistance for needs ranging from
haircuts to bus tokens, coolers, and ice.
If you wish to volunteer, call Deb Eichstedt
at 1-360-668-9481 (uusoul@yahoo.com)
