It's never too early

... for the littlest among us to learn about helping their neighbors in need. That was the lesson when a delightful group of preschoolers from St. Luke's Memorial Episcopal Church visited Northwest FISH. The group of four- and five-year-olds toured the food bank with their teacher Terri Atkinson. Food bank coordinator Debbie Price reports, "we all discusses the families in our community that aren't always able to buy food for themselves and the importance of helping each other when people sometimes aren't able to take care of themselves." The youngsters brought food donations and a big Ziploc bag of donated coins.
