Chalk up another 15 pounds of fresh veggies for ShareNet

Here we are in the middle of October and still harvesting veggies from the Firehouse Garden for ShareNet Food Bank. Today we got celery, mini peppers, tomatoes, an onion and some squash, totaling 15 pounds.
 

Six years of clean laundry for the unhoused and needy

 

It's hard to believe it's already been 6 years that we've been doing our Loads of Change service project. So many Lions and friends have volunteered, and so many people in our community have been helped. When we started, we were only spending around $100 a month. Now that number is between $500 and $600. We offer the unhoused and needy in North Kitsap laundry services, taking care of laundry detergent, fabric softener and often other items such as clean socks, toiletries, gloves and more.

Our next Loads of Change is Weds., Oct. 16, from 2-6 p.m. at the Village Laundromat in the Poulsbo Village Shopping Center.

Donations are always appreciated. They may be dropped off at John L. Scott Real Estate attn: Dennis Deitch.

Veggie donations grow over 1,000 lb mark

We're pretty proud of this accomplishment! A handful of Lions have put in many hours planting, watering, weeding, harvesting and driving fresh, chemical-free veggies to ShareNet Food Bank from our Firehouse Garden. More veggies are still to come....

Recycle your eyeglasses and sunglasses

Poulsbo Lions Karl and Pauline Ostheller delivered 1,570 pairs of eyeglasses to the Northwest Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center (LERC) Sept. 28. It was a 150-mile roundtrip, taking 3 hours. The Osthellers took 1,200 eyeglasses to LERC in August.

LERC provides used eyeglasses free of charge to people in remote areas of developing countries, delivered at the hands of volunteer eye care professionals.
