SnowCap seeks MLK Day volunteers
We received a note from SnowCap Community Charities in outer east Portland with a special plea for volunteers on the upcoming holiday. SnowCap Community Charities is a philanthropic organization created to provide food, clothing, advocacy and other services to the poor in a large part of east and outer Portland, including Gresham, Wood Village, Troutdale and Fairview.
“Martin Luther King Jr. Day is an ideal occasion to volunteer for community service and SnowCap Community Charities is setting aside Monday, Jan. 18 for special helpers.
” ‘We know many people in our community would like to celebrate Dr. King’s life and cause with a day of service,’ said SnowCap executive director Judy Alley. ‘The work on that day is varied,’ she added.
” ‘People are needed to sort food, make soup mix, work in our garden, paint, clean and perform light office word,’ she says. Two-hour and four-hour shifts are available.
Prospective volunteers should contact Kari James, volunteer coordinator, at 503-674-8785 ext 38 or email kari@snowcap.org.”
