For Windermere’s annual Community Service Day, one of the 6 local organizations we volunteered at was Paint Tacoma-Pierce Beautiful with Associated Ministries!
This great program organizes volunteers to paint home exteriors for those who are low income, elderly, or disabled homeowners in Tacoma. Since 1985, PTB has helped over 2,200 homes get painted. Associated Ministries runs several other programs in Pierce County as well; they tackle issues like affordable housing, homelessness prevention, re-housing, and more. We’re so glad we could help to make a home more beautiful for someone in need!

One group of our colleagues headed to Mother Earth Farm in the Puyallup Valley to volunteer. This 8-acre farm is an Emergency Food Network Program, and this farm distributes 120,000 lbs. of fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs to many food pantries and meal sites throughout Pierce County. All of the food grown here is donated, and never sold. We are so happy that our hard work on Community Service Day will help Mother Earth Farm grow more food for our community!
