Thank you Orca K-8 Penny Harvest for choosing SNG as your Grant Recipient!
We recently were awarded Orca K-8 School's Penny Harvest grant! Penny Harvest is a service-learning youth philanthropy program where youth between the ages of 4 and 18 convert their natural passion for others into action by collecting pennies and turning them into grants for community organizations. They studied community needs and organizations and chose to donate to us! Thanks Orca K-8!

Bridge to Beach Makeover
On Saturday, April 24, we held the 2nd Annual Bridge to Beach All Valley Earth Day Clean Up.
With 20 groups out working on various clean up, weeding, planting projects, the Valley is all the better as a result. This was more than a clean up, it was also a competition with ten prizes.
One clean team member commented that her group appreciated the organized community clean up project and that "it has motivated us to do our part and we plan to continue with the momentum through the summer."
All participants are amazing people and the whole Rainier Valley should be grateful for their strength, vision, energy and compassion. We all benefit from having neighbors who walk the talk. Thank you!
With so many great accomplishments, the judges had a challenge in picking the ten prize winning teams that will receive a gift certificate to a local Rainier Valley restaurant. Food seemed to be the best way to express our gratitude: gifts from Mother Earth herself!
The organizers want to give special recognition to Jennifer Duong of Seattle Neighborhood Group, who took the lead on this project.
Thank you to the sponsors/donors and organizers: Clif Bar and Company, Department of Neighborhoods - City of Seattle, Healthy and Active Rainier Valley Coalition, HomeSight, Pepsi, PCC, Rainier Chamber, Rainier Valley Post, Safeway, Seattle Neighborhood Group, Seattle Tree Preservation and Starbucks Coffee.
