For the Love of Laundry—and the Earth

We have recently learned that some of our neighbors who shelter at The Lighthouse Navigation Center on 2nd Street (a low-barrier shelter for the houseless) end up sending their clothing to the landfill when it gets too dirty because they don’t have access to affordable laundry services. We are arranging a pilot program to assist them. A volunteer will deliver laundry in disposable laundry bags to Unity on Sunday mornings. We are looking for (initially) 5 volunteers willing to take home a single load, wash and return it to Unity by Tuesday for pickup. If you are interested, please contact Cylvia Hayes.

Member Appreciation

We hosted our very first Earth Day booth last Saturday at the downtown Bend Earth Day Fair and it was a blast! We were there to share who we are and invite people to our Wild Soul Sanctuary. In addition to that, our very own Rev. Jane did children’s face painting for all afternoon and kids were lined up to be transformed into the animal of their choice! Clare, River, and Elowyn stepped in too to help. It was great fun! Thank you, Cylvia Hayes, and all the members of our Earth Care team, who put many hours into organizing this successful event; Monica(lead booth coordinator), Colinda, Donna, Jane, Sunny, Wendy, Kevin, Vonnie, and Tally. We appreciate all your time and energy. We look forward to doing it again next year!
