More Day of Service success: UW volunteers @ Family Promise

Laura Bermes at Family Promise shares the photo and this report on another MLK Day of Service project earlier this week in West Seattle:

Thanks goes out to the University of Washington students who stepped up on Monday to help out at West Seattle’s only homeless shelter for families, Family Promise of Seattle (located at 3626 California Ave SW). The students worked alongside shelter guests, and Family Promise’s employee Mark Zimmerman, and Director Elizabeth Heath. The group cleared out the Day Center’s basement, leveled the floor, and put the basement back togehter again. The newly cleaned and organized space will benefit families by allowing them to store their personal belongings as they work their way through homelessness. For those in our West Seattle Community who would like to know more about how to help families going through homelessness, visit the Family Promise website, or give us a call at 937-2703.

We’ve featured Family Promise here before, including this closer look in October 2008.

    Tracy, I think you mean Laura Bermes unless she has a relative named Lynn also working with FPS.
