SATURDAY PEACEFUL PROTEST IN MANZANITA-JOIN US!

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Please join the North County Resistance in a PEACEFUL PROTEST this coming Saturday, August 30 at noon in Manzanita along Highway 101 on Laneda and Manzanita Avenues. We intend to PROTEST from noon to 2 PM. Our country needs all of us to speak up, and by coming together, we can show our elected officials that our community is committed to a better direction.

This peaceful protest aims to address recent legislative proposals that threaten voting rights, birthright citizenship, and government transparency, including the proposed Voter ID bill and recent changes to absentee ballot procedures, as well as efforts to limit access to public records. By gathering, we hope to raise awareness and demand action on these critical issues that directly affect our community’s future. As laws and policies put long-standing protections at risk, our unity and resolve in Manzanita stand as a powerful statement for justice and equality.

For your safety, please always remain on the west side of Highway 101 behind the barricade. If you need to cross, use the designated crosswalk near Manzanita Lumber Yard and Big Wave. Volunteers will be there to help you cross safely. Follow directions from our volunteers in orange vests—they are available to help with any questions or concerns. Do not cross the street outside the crosswalk and avoid entering the highway for any reason. If anyone tries to engage negatively, simply walk away and seek help from a volunteer. Our priority is a peaceful, respectful demonstration for all.

Please remember not to park in local business lots around the protest area; these are reserved for customers. Parking is available along Laneda or Manzanita Avenues (without blocking driveways) and at the new City Hall on Manzanita Avenue.

Prepare for changing weather by dressing in layers and bringing water, a chair if needed, and your protest signs (or borrow one of ours). Most importantly, bring your positive spirit and commitment to our shared values.

Just as we stand together for justice and equality in our protest, we also unite to support neighbors in need through our ongoing partnership with the North County Food Bank. We continue to support the North County Food Bank in Wheeler with your generous donations. Each Tuesday, the food and funds collected are delivered, making a meaningful difference for neighbors in need. Last week was a record breaker for food collected, and we are deeply grateful for your kindness and support of this community treasure. In future updates, we look forward to sharing stories from food bank recipients and volunteers, connecting us all more closely with the impact of our efforts. To stay up to date with their story, please visit their website: www.northtillamookcountyfoodbank.org
Thanks, Patty

Outreach for Service Opportunities

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: emilydprofessional@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello! I help with a local church youth group and we are looking for service projects that would benefit our local community (ideally anywhere from Bay City to Manzanita). At this time we are looking for a service project involving hand making items to be donated locally (ideas would be hats, blankets, cards, ornaments, care packages, etc) to be done in the month of September. We cannot currently commit to an ongoing, scheduled project, but if you know of other kinds of service projects that could be in one sitting or as-needed, we’d love to hear about them!

Our ideal projects for this September would be able to be done by any age from 10 to 110, and going forward would be projects able to be done by teens. I look forward to being able to find ways to work together with the community!

Thank you community! Yard Sale for Gaza

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: brittanynichole85@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Thank you so much to our wonderful, generous North Coast community for coming together and making the yard sale for Gaza a success! We raised over $4000 thanks to the generosity of donors, VOLUNTEERS, and shoppers. We are blown away at the support and kindness people showed in response to this fundraiser.

We are able to donate $2000 to The Sameer Project and $2000 to Gaza Little Lights. We also raised $200 through our lemonade stand, which will be donated to Heal Palestine via the Kids Healing Kids summer initiative. Thanks Cove and Shane!

I urge everyone to check out these organizations in order to better understand the incredibly important and admirable work they are doing on the ground in Gaza. Please continue to donate when you can. It all makes a difference. In addition to The Sameer Project, Gaza Little Lights, and Heal Palestine, please support and spread awareness to organizations like

Gaza Soup Kitchen
Gaza Infant Care Collective
Gaza Mutual Aid Collective
Gaza Orphan Relief
PCRF

Obviously the amount of need greatly surpasses what most of us feel we can actually achieve to make a difference. Every action, regardless of size, can feel like a drop in the ocean compared to what is truly needed to even begin to hinder immeasurable suffering. I hope that in staying informed, active, donating, and through spreading awareness we can make good use of our time while our hearts ache for humanity. Watching our community come together in this way was a reminder that we are not alone in our grief for unspeakable injustice. We know that now, more than ever, that human connection is powerful and necessary for the future.

Thank you, again, from the bottom of our hearts.

Why I Can’t Keep Millie

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: ketzel.levine@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
For the last few weeks I’ve been posting on the bbq about Millie, an affectionate, well-behaved and very young 9 yr-old dog who needs a new home.

“She’s so sweet!”, friends say when they meet her. “And so pretty! Why aren’t you keeping her?”

So here’s why.

Our home is one where a lot of people come and go: family, friends, service folks and Airbnb guests. It’s all just a bit much for Millie, who just this spring was rescued from an unsafe situation and is only learning what it’s like to live a safe and stable life. With so many strangers coming and going, she gets stressed, barks and cannot settle.

We think she can do better than us. We imagine her in a quieter home with another dog for comfort and play (she adores dogs), easy access to outside (she lives to be outside) and of course, boatloads of love.

Like so many amazing canines who’ve survived abuse, Millie remains a very happy girl. She’s got a big, big heart. She loves the beach, the woods, playing with her dog friends, visiting her favorite humans, and even likes visiting Matt the vet (he thinks she’s pretty swell, too).

Her super powers are her recall and off-leash reliability, curling into a human lap (a good trick at 57 lbs), and never missing a meal. I particularly love her ball-crazed happy dance, as if she didn’t just drop the damn thing to pick it back up!

Will we miss her? Of course we will! But what a joy for both us and for Millie to find a home with far less comings-and-goings where she need never feel scared and unsafe again.

Thank you. Please get in touch if you’d like to meet her.
