   I'm trying to find out who I should contact for a possible food donation for Nickelsville this coming Friday around 1 p.m. I spent my short break time trying to search for the info I know I've seen posted and was not able to find it. Now break time has run out and I need to get back to work.

   The camp phone # is 206-450-5268. You can ask for a donation coordinator. Or just show up at the gate and tell them you have a donation. If you need someone to take it down there for you I'm sure someone following the forum will respond. We'd help, but we're unavailable that day. If this is a meal you're trying to deliver, Operation Sack Lunch is there between 12:30 and 1 Mon-Fri delivering lunch, so their lunch is taken care of during the week.. Hope this helps.

   thanks for the question linda, and the answer munchkin22; I was at party Sunday where there was tons of food left over; I suggested taking to Nickelsville, and it was delivered by a neighbor who lives near there; but I wanted to contact Nickelsville to assist with logistics, let them know food was coming soon, but did not have #, now in my phone; much appreciated

   Thanks, I'll call the donation coordinator.
   We have a company luncheon that day in the neighborhood and there is always a lot of extra food which we have always donated in the past. I wanted to check with someone at Nickelsville to see if they would be interested, especially since the food will not keep long without refrigeration if not eaten that day.

   Thanks everyone! Our company does throw a good party, catered by Longhorn Barbecue. Donation coordinator was called and the food has been delivered.

   Thought I would put it out there. (did not want to start a new thread)

   A new office opened up right down the street from me. It is called Share and Care, 206-764-4849

   I called the number they assist people in trying to find housing. Thought I would pass this along just in case nobody heard about this place.

    There's a nearby, but sometimes unstable, wi-fi connection.
