Food bank volunteers

Published November 23, 2009 / by Steve Berentson

As Thanksgiving approaches, teams of volunteers work in Anacortes to prepare food packages for those in need. Pictured here Monday afternoon at the Salvation Army’s “R” Avenue Food Bank are Tweet Schreurs and Carolle Lamoureaux.

About Steve Berentson
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
