Care packages going out this week
A Community Point of Distribution (CPOD) for COVID Food Care Packages opens today, Wednesday, June 3, and will be open each Wednesday through Aug. 19. Drivers are asked to the west entrance of the Sequim Middle School parking lot, 301 W. Hendrickson Road, and line up to receive one box each of non-perishable food, perishable food and dairy products.
The Clallam County Emergency Operation Center asked the Sequim Emergency Coordination Center to set up the CPOD in support of a county-wide COVID Food Care Package program.
‘Fudge for Fasteners’ in June
Trade a 2-pound box of screws or nails (any size/type fastener) from any of three local building supply stores for a piece of fudge during the month of June.
“Fudge for Fasteners” is a collaboration between local businesses and the nonprofit Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County. Donations of fasteners from Clallam Co-Op Farm & Garden (216 E. Washington St.) in Sequim or Angeles Millworks (1601 S. C St.) or Hartnagel Building Supply (3111 US Highway 101) in Port Angeles dropped off at WeDo Fudge at 11 Valley Center Place, Carlsborg, earns a piece of fudge.
All fasteners will be donated to Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County to be used on their two new home builds starting soon, organization representatives said last week. Email to info@habitat cllallam.org or see www.habitatclallam.org for more information.
