— from Jim Duffield, Skagit Habitat for Humanity —
Skagit Habitat for Humanity thanks all the Orcas Islanders who donated items to the Store truck on Monday the 22nd of September. So many donors showed up that the truck was full by noon at Island Market. We were glad we could help you while you helped us.
Carol and Duff want to especially thank three people who really helped out. Todd Shaner was super with processing and loading items, and was a face most islanders recognized. Arthur showed up with donation items, and showed us how to pack in more things–and it turned out to be invaluable. Jeremiah was in the parking lot to contract for some labor, and when the boss did not arrive, Jeremiah pitched in to lift and load things. We would have been lost, too, without his tape measure.
So many people asked if we can come back again soon, that we are working on making that happen. It looks like we’ll be back on either the 26th or 27th of October, and will put out flyers and new releases when the date, time, and location is set. Until the Exchange is back in business, Habitat will coordinate to try to fill the need.
