Rain City Rotary of Shoreline fed dinner to the United We Stand Tent
City located at the Bethel Lutheran Church (17418 8th Ave NE, Shoreline,
WA 98155). They were very appreciative of the dinner and company.
We offered to pass on to the larger Shoreline community some of the items they are in need of. You are welcome to drop off items at their location on 174th street behind the church building.
For more
information on the encampment and to sign up to provide a meal please
see their website here. Currently they have 25 people living there so providing a meal is very manageable for a small group.

Rain City Rotary meets most Thursday nights at 6:30pm
in the Shoreline City Hall, 17500 Midvale Ave N. Check out our website
for more information on where we are volunteering or meeting. We would
welcome you to join us!
United We Stand Tent City has since moved to a private citizen's property. December 14th at 7pm during the city council meeting they will be voting on zoning issues regarding this change. These people need to know where they will rest their heads each night.
