Neighbors in Need Report + November 7, 2026
Every weekly report seems to start with conversation about the very large crowd. And once again!!!!
Our Neighbors must have known that Sabrina was cooking this morning. We had a very early and very long line. Thank you, Sabrina and team for breakfast casserole, sausage links, bacon, homemade cinnamon rolls and a choice of fruit juices. What a beautiful and delicious buffet.
A change to warm clothing was another big issue this morning. A carload of donations from Lynnwood Unity Church were a truly timely gift.
The NiN clothing department is "retail" organized and displayed. Each Neighbor and their personal shopper can quickly find their preferred garment in the correct size. Our clothing team uses the pictured style of coat hanger. If you have any extras, they as ask for your donation. Remember 🙂 Donations of clothing and hangers are gratefully accepted on Saturday mornings.
Our pantry team are probably all home with their feet up this afternoon. They gave more than 100 grocery bags and 5 family boxes. This means extra trips to the basement for back stock inventory. Thanks to all of you for a long, physical morning. You served a large community.
"Busy" also applies to our Advocates Recovery Services partners. Four medical experts were caring for Neighbors and volunteers. It was especially nice to see Christine as part of their medical team. Christine was a registered nurse in Korea, her birth country. In the last few months, she has fulfilled requirements to serve as a registered nurse in the US AND she has done all of the work to secure her safety as an immigrant in the USA. Christine were proud of you and grateful that we benefit from your care.
Thank you to all of our military veterans. Thank you for our safe present and for safety in our future. We are grateful.
