Opportunities to Help

First of all, stay vigilant friends and stay hopeful in the light of the news today of 2 more fires in our neighborhood! Steve Giliberto with the Greenwood/Phinney Chamber of Commerce is working to set up a community meeting with representatives from the Police Department.

The Green Bean has a brand new Americorp volunteer, Dan Moses, who started working just about the time of the fire. If you are looking for ways to help email Dan. He’s consolidating a list of helpers so that as needs crystallize we can call on you!

And here are a few initiatives taking place in the community already:

The Community Dinners put on by Westminster Community Church and hosted at Upper Crust Catering is taking an offering tonight, Thursday, November 5^th for the Fire Relief Fund.

Neptune Coffee is considering charging a cover for some of their Trivia Nights and charging a cover which will go to the Greenwood Fire Relief Fund…I don’t see mention of it on their website yet but stay tuned…

Wing Dome gave a portion of their proceeds from beer and burger sales on Sunday, Nov 1 to the Greenwood Fire Relief Fund….thanks Wing Dome!

One of the Greenwood Community Groups from Mars Hill Church in Ballard is working on putting together a holiday benefit auction sometime prior to the holidays with donations from local businesses and neighbors. If you are interested in donating items or services please contact Brock Prince.

The Blue November MicroFilmFest, held November 12 - 14 at the Upper Crust, will also be collecting donations for the Greenwood Fire Relief Fund. Captain Chambers, director of Blue November, will also be selling the 2 films he shot last year at the Green Bean, "The Marriage of Luna and Sol" & "The Pass". 100% of the sales of the films, during the festival, will go to the Greenwood Fire Relief Fund.

The Festival is free! Donations are welcomed, supporting the Greenwood Fire Relief Fund. Come out and let's come together for a few evenings of great films, music, art, culture, and community!

As owners of local espresso drive-thru Karma by the Cup (333 NW 85th), we are outraged by this flurry of arsons and share the fears of the entire community. Quarterly, our business donates 5% of our profit to a different non-profit/cause, and we will now be donating these funds to the Greenwood Fire Relief Fund.

We would appreciate it if you could help us help the community by getting the word out. We look forward to meeting you all at the community meeting on Tuesday night.

-Bre, Sarah, & Sarah, Karma by the Cup
