Greenwood Sea Fair Parade

Two neighborhood kids enjoy free soda, ice cream, and face painting at the Sanctuary Fun Zone as Cindy Black and Cheryl Robinson keep coolers stocked and carafes full.

Over 40 Sanctuary volunteers enjoyed the opportunity to meet their neighbors during this year's Greenwood Seafair Parade. The Sanctuary Fun Zone offered parents the opportunity to rest and enjoy some Green Bean coffee and find out about local non-profits like the Senior Center while their kids had their faces painted or burned off steam in the bouncy house. Ten local businesses contributed items for a raffle which raised $240 for Tiny Hands, working to abolish the child slave trade in and around Nepal. Down the street at the Green Bean Coffee House, volunteers distributed water in paper cups to greatful passers-by who had walked long distances to get to the parade. Over all, the Fun Zone was a great opportunity for Sanctuary and the Salvation Army, who funded the event, to care for our neighborhood and to showcase the ministry of the Green Bean.
