Come Together Rainier to Support Flood Victims!

Tom Arnbrister was moved to hold a fundraiser for the victims of the floods down south.  He talked to people in town and everyone is pulling together to help.  Many people, non-profit groups and businesses have made donations for a Silent Auction.  Others have donated time and food.  Everyone in Rainier is pulling together to help those who are facing the daunting task of rebuilding their lives after the floods and hurricanes.  Even the students at Rainier Elementary School are having a Penny Drive.  Any little thing we do, helps.

Thank You for Donating to the Olympia Union Gospel Mission!

It all started with one person's idea.  Thank you, Nancy Bay!  Nancy cleaned out her closet and brought in 4 bags of gently used winter clothing for the Rainier Senior Center to donate to the Olympia Union Gospel Mission.  

Rosemary Sanders ran with the idea!  

Everyone at the Rainier Senior Center sends a special "Thank You" to everyone who donated clothing and other usable items to the Olympia Union Gospel Mission.  In addition to nice, warm winter clothing, we received business suits from someone who recently retired, sleeping bags and back packs, winter coats shoes, socks & new underwear.  

We had so many items we filled up the entry way with bags and bags...and more bags.  What a treat for the people who were there to help us unload our vehicles.  (Yes, we overfilled 2 vehicles.  A full sized truck and a station wagon.  

Once we arrived at the Olympia Union Gospel Mission,m we had many people help us unload all of the clothing and other items.  We are grateful for everyone's help and donations.  Thank you so much!
