"These moments remind us why being a local business is about so much more than what we do, it's about who we show up for." Thank you, Lake Washington Windows & Doors!

With this school year coming to an end and summer break about to begin, Weekend Power Packs are turning into Summer Power Packs! Together, we can make sure that youth in the Riverview School District do not go hungry while school meals are on pause.

With summer coming up, the Weekend Power Pack program is transitioning to the Summer Power Pack program. We are looking forward to helping the youth in the Riverview School District who are in need of supplemental food over summer break.

We would like to invite those in the community who want to be a part of our program by inviting you into our office this summer to help us pack Power Packs!

This hands-on, volunteer opportunity is a great summer boredom buster for families! Please consider signing up with your friends or your family. Thank you! Link to sign up in comments.
