Stevens Fire Company is giving out FREE meals during this time.   We are continuing to serve the community! During this crisis, we have had a successful Power Packs food distribution. All participants in the program picked up their food from one distribution point, the food was picked up curbside, with volunteers bringing it to each car individually, making the least amount of group contact possible. This system worked well, and the volunteers were a great help! Plans are to continue this process through the end of May. Here at REAL Life Community Services, were working on two new projects! Our vision for REAL is that we continue to grow! We are doing just that! We would like to add a playground out back of the Declaration House for any residents children that that are currently residing there! We absolutely can not complete this vision without you. Would you consider helping us raise the thermometer?  YES! Id love to donate to this! The next project we are working on, is the Warehouse building behind the Declaration House. We are consolidating our food distibution program, by purchasing a warehouse. We then plan to renovate it. The total cost of this project could be as high as $212,000.  Would you consider being apart of this with us either by giving financialy or with your time or in-kind donations! YES! Id love to donate to this! Spring/Summer Work Projects As we continue to make The Declaration House a beautiful place to live, work and patronize, we are planning to clean up brush along the railroad tracks and behind the new 'Warehouse 916' building. If your church group, business or civic group would like to help, please contact Sunny@reallcs.org. We are redoing the bathroom in the lighthouse!! It was time!
