Pictures from MLK Day


We enjoyed being a part of the MLK Day of Service on campus. For most of the time, SSWO helped out at the kids' station. We planted tomatoes, chard and peas with them, and they colored signs to to use as labels. They also planted some wildflowers. We then joined everyone else and helped clear weeds and bushes to make the garden area look cleaner. I am excited about this garden. It is great that UWT is finding a resourceful way to help the homeless and low-income families in the area.

UWT Giving Garden Service Project


Come and join SSWO in the UWT Giving Garden service project on MLK Day. We will meet at 10:30 in front of the Science Building (The Science Building is located on top of the centralstairway, if walking up the stairs it is on your right side. The building has blue framing and many windows.) Lunch will be provided. You can register here. From the giving garden website: "The Giving Garden project will include several raised bed gardens, which will grow fresh produce. This produce will be harvested and donated to Tacoma's Good Neighbor Café, a facility providing breakfast and dinner to homeless and low-income individuals." Be a part of this great cause!
