🛁 January is National Bath Safety Month, which makes it a perfect time to refresh your space with simple upgrades that support safer bathing for seniors.

Last week, I had the opportunity to tour the Thurston County Food Bank Warehouse located across from SPSCC. During my visit, I collected flyers highlighting high-need items and the For Kids items that support free lunches for children on half days or early releases.

Additionally, there is a QR code available for those interested in making donations. If you are unable to deliver items to the food bank but still want to contribute, please reach out to me. I can arrange a pickup and ensure that your donations reach the food bank.
