We were in and out of our rain gear in Nehalem today. Then someone pointed out a rainbow! This group of people were both serious about their mission and wanting to figure out how they could help our community as we continue our journey to provide, at a minimum, food security.

I’m not sure where to start here. Let’s say we start at food security. From today we have 8 weeks between now and December 27-about the end of the year. My sense is that many people in our area can donate something to the following organizations that serve individuals, families, and children of our community.

Nehalem Bay Community Services, PO Box 232, Nehalem, Oregon 97131.

North County Food Bank, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon 97147.

Family Resource Center/Neah-Kah-Nie Resource Center, PO Box 28, Rockaway Beach, Oregon, 97138.

If you give $5 for these eight weeks=$40

If you give $10 for these eight weeks=$80

If you give $15 for these eight weeks= I’m thinkin’ =$120

Think about what you might be able to give each week for the next 8 weeks. A $1 a week helps too. Now to give, you can mail your donation to each group or give it to me at next week’s Protest in Nehalem. We are there from noon to 2 PM and want to support all groups. We are here for our community and humanity.

What else can we/you do? You tell me. Ideas and help are needed from everyone. You tell me.

Thanks,

Patty
