By Dick Freer Tigard Kiwanis is fortunate to have this opportunity to serve the children and adults dwelling in the Good Neighbor Center. We feed them dinner twice a month; it’s usually about 20 people, half children and half adults. I think the Center does a great job of keeping these families safe, while helping to get them into decent permanent housing. Recent good news is that we are now able to do the meal prep in the facility. There is more social interaction and fun while doing the project together, instead of alone at home! We only need 3 or 4 volunteers to prep a dinner. All are welcome to participate.
