Making CARE happen…

MCGO GO!

04/20/202009/17/2020 by Terry Vogel in Meadowbrook Community Garden and Orchard

With the local food bank in Lake City at […]

Each Fall Seattle Pacific University connects with Meadowbrook Community CARE (MC2) on their freshman class orientation. The Cityquest 2019 volunteer effort here in Meadowbrook was fun and inspiring.
