HELPING: Big response today to Admiral Church‘s first Saturday food drive – David Pelton sent a pic, with words of thanks:
I loved what Marylou Santee our food drive coordinator said today—“We live in a generous community of kind people.”
And as noted this morning, the next every-other-Sunday food drive outside Alki UCC is tomorrow.
