Help Wanted at the Rainier Emergency Food Center
I am Phyllis Heinselman of the
Rainier Emergency Food Center, located at 11318 Vail Cutoff Rd SE.
I’m
reaching out for someone, with computer skills, to volunteer
on Wednesday from 9
AM to Noon.
We are the largest food bank
in Thurston County. We serve over 180 families a week from 9:30 AM to Noon every
Wednesday and Saturday. We are here to
serve the public and make coming here a pleasant experience for our clients,
going through a rough time.
This
volunteer position would be sitting at the intake desk and entering the clients
information into the computer; tracking their visits and commodity bags. Where this isn’t a difficult job, it is a
demanding one. If you have time and are
that special person who would like to help us please contact Nancy Decker
at:

Cookie Exchange 2016
The Rainier Senior Center was filled with bakers & their families for the Annual Christmas Cookie Exchange! There were dozens of cookies to choose from! I've never seen so many cookies in one place! We all got to sample cookies, before we chose the ones we wanted to take home. The cookies were not only wonderful eye candy - they tasted great, too!
We had a white elephant gift exchange after people picked cookies to take home. The gift exchange was a lot of fun. Georgia was the first person to choose a gift. Her's was stolen 3 different times, so it was frozen. She ended up with the apron George and I brought to the exchange. She gave it to her grand daughter, who loves to bake.
All in all, it was wonderful to see everyone and get a variety of cookies to bring with us to our family Christmas. They're in the freezer, now!
Rosemary Sanders took the picture below with all of the cookies:
