Think Spring and Save the Date! It’s almost time for Thurston County Hunger Walk, supporting both Thurston County Food Bank and The Community Kitchen!

This year, we’ll be hosting the event at The RAC (Regional Athletic Complex) in Lacey on Sunday, May 3. The space features paved walking paths and leashed dogs are welcome.

Take steps to end hunger with us with an afternoon of fun, music, and supporting two great organizations.

Be on the lookout for more details including the online campaign page in the near future!

Thank you Northwest Catholic for sharing about our program and our staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to feed those most in need in our community!

It took Raelene Wilson all of two days living at Bertha’s Place Too shelter before she began to look at the staff and fellow residents as family.
