SAV-ON's Involvement with Northwest Harvest

We received a wonderful e-mail today from Northwest Harvest--

Your service is deeply appreciated, particularly during the holiday season when many of us have extra demands on our time. This year, you have every reason to be especially proud. In December alone, volunteers contributed a record-breaking 9,793 hours of time to help Northwest Harvest be successful. One month into the New Year, it looks as if 2010 could be just as busy for all of us at Northwest Harvest as 2009 was. Currently, volunteer hours are up 33 percent over this time last year.

Because of your generosity, thousands of our neighbors in need have food on the table during some of the winter's coldest and darkest days. We are deeply grateful to each of you for the work you do!

SAV-ON volunteered time and efforts at the Kent Warehouse last December. And it doesn't stop there. Every location has a donation bin and for every referral we get that we provide an insurance quote for, whether or not the policy is written, we donate $1 to Northwest Harvest. In 2009, we contributed a total of $1,076 to this worthwhile organization, and this year we're determined to do even better!

We're volunteering again this month. Anyone and everyone is welcome so let us know if you'd like to join us!

Kid's Club Carnival CANCELED

Unfortunately, the Kid's Club Carnival has been canceled. But we plan to have this next year.

Donations to Northwest Harvest are still encouraged at any of our office locations. This last quarter we raised a monetary donation of $282.
