Loads of Change helps 45 people with their laundry

Our Loads of Change Wednesday helped 45 people with 57 loads of wash (71 loads in the dryer) to the tune of $384. Special thanks to the Severe Weather Shelter of Kingston for its donation, along with others' donations of cash and pod detergent. We appreciate it! Donations may be left at John L. Scott Real Estate (ask for Pat Osler or Dennis Deitch).

 

Loads of Change helps the unhoused/needy with laundry the third Wednesday of every month at The Village Laundromat in Poulsbo. People need to be from the NK area.

Lions set up and take down American flags on Flag Day

 

Poulsbo Lions set up and take down flags on various holidays throughout the year along Highway 305, Viking Avenue and Front Street (pictured).

 

What is the meaning of Flag Day? On this day 246 years ago, Congress created our national flag by commemorating Betsy Ross' creation of the Stars & Stripes.

Garden gets drip lines with harvest of garlic scapes

 

Poulsbo Lions put in a drip irrigation system last weekend at the Firehouse Garden on 10th Avenue, except for one section, which will get done this next weekend. 

 

Today, six pounds of garlic scapes and butter lettuce were harvested and taken to ShareNet in Kingston.

Lead by Poulsbo Evening Pride Lion Rob Ratcliff, the Firehouse Garden is producing veggies for ShareNet. Lion Dave Risley took in some leeks we planted last fall, and last Friday, Rob took in around 30 lbs of Bok Choi and Red Leaf lettuce.
