We have a food bank nearby – North Helpline in Lake City. It can assist you with weekly food, or emergency services. For the food bank, you can register at the facility. See the poster below for more information. And if you would like to volunteer at the food bank, email the Volunteer Coordinator at volunteers@northhelpline.org.
Looking for a volunteer activity in the neighborhood? Please consider Hunger Intervention Program.

Right now it is looking for volunteers for these programs: Meal prep at Lake City Presbyterian Church for the senior lunch at Lake City Community Center Senior meal setup, service and cleanup at Lake City Community Center After school snack delivery, service and cleanup at Lake City Library Healthy HIP packs assembly (food sent home with kids for the weekend) at Lake City Presbyterian church Learn more about this great organization on its website: http://hungerintervention.org
In this season of increased animosity & intolerance, what can we do to help when we see a hate crime? How can we help tamp down the vitriol? We had hoped to have a guest speaker at our December Pinehurst Community Council meeting speak on how to help make Pinehurst a hate-free community, but demand for speakers was too high and we couldn’t secure one. This Lake City event will be a great alternative:
Have you ever tried to photograph a black cat? It’s really hard. Have you ever tried to DRAW a black cat? It’s nearly impossible (well, a real artist could do it probably). So here’s Julien, a black Pinehurst cat who’s hard to photograph, not just because he’s black, but in this case because he was writhing around on his perch daring me to get a good shot. He does manage to look rather …. fetching, no? Julien moved here from West Seattle last year. He says he likes it here except for when a neighbor cat looks in the window at him and his sister. If you’d like your pet featured, please send a photo and its name and a short description or story to nancy@pinehurstseattle.org.
Some of you may be aware that Haller Lake, our neighbor to the north, has an intimate, casual classical music venue at Haller Lake United Methodist Church (13055 1st Ave. NE., Seattle). For about 25 years the church has hosted the Haller Lake Music Series, which offers mostly monthly freewill-donation concerts. The performers tend to be local musicians whom you can meet and chat with after the concert. I’ve enjoyed a number of concerts there over the years. I love having a very local music venue! Here’s its website: https://hallerlakemusic.com/ A special fundraiser concert is planned there on Saturday, January 21, from 7 pm to 9 pm., with all proceeds benefiting the Bach in the Subways international movement. What’s that? Bach in the Subways’s goal is to bring as much Bach, and classical music in general, for free, to as many people as possible, especially to those who otherwise wouldn’t hear live classical music. And where do you find a lot of people in Seattle? In public spaces like Light Rail stations, ferry terminals; malls; libraries – you get the picture. Funds raised at this benefit will support dozens of musicians throughout Greater Seattle as they offer free performances, without pay, of Bach’s music in public places March 18-21 in celebration of Bach’s birthday. Read more about Bach in the Subways at http://bachinthesubways.org/seattle/ Anyway, tickets for the benefit concert in Haller Lake on January 21 are available through Brown Paper Tickets (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2724778) and will also be sold at the door 30 minutes before the concert. I hope to see you there! By Monica Sweet
