In some peoples’ minds, “Sharing Abundance” would mean sharing our excess food or donating money. In my mind, I think more of sharing my time. In our small community there is a variety of volunteer opportunities.
Amy Berryman of the Alger Food Bank has been volunteering her time for 33 years. With 7 other long time volunteers, hundreds of pounds of food are passed out the first and third Tuesdays of the month. Amy also keeps a list of people she can call for immediate help unloading the van full of food. If you would like to help or donate, give her a call at 724-5131. If you cannot get a hold of Amy, the Alger Community Hall can accept donations on their behalf , call 724-0340.
Friday Creek Habitat Stewards is a group of community members pledged to increase watershed awareness by enhancing wildlife habitat in the Upper Samish Watershed one home at a time. Volunteers are always needed for special projects, like the Alger Community Hall's new native plant demonstration garden. If interested visit their website at www.fridaycreekhabitatstewards.weebly.com.
Community halls are an important resource in small areas around the county. They serve as a place for celebrations, public meetings, where community members can meet each other socially, community members can rent cheaply when a private family function or party is too big for their own home, that passes on and retells local history, and where politicians or other official leaders come to meet the citizens and ask for their opinions. To achieve more from your community hall volunteers are needed. Contact Alger Improvement Club 360-724-0340 and/or Blanchard Community Club 360-766-5272
