Buy a Bunch for the Hungry
Saturday, August 23, 8 am-1 pm, Cedar Mill Farmers Market

On August 9, Leedy Grange members collected over $160 in cash donations, and were able to donate several large boxes of fresh produce, along with toiletries, school supplies, and other much-needed items to Sunshine Pantry. Special thanks to Duyck’s Peachy Pig Farm who donated two big boxes of sweet corn and a box of rhubarb!

The booth was so successful that we plan to do it again on Saturday, August 23. Look for our blue canopy, and bring paper goods (toilet paper, towels, diapers etc), toiletries, and other items that Pantry clients can’t purchase with food stamps! And while you’re browsing the market, get an extra bunch of carrots or bag of peaches—everyone needs and enjoys fresh produce!

Sunshine Pantry is trying to collect cash to repair their walk-in freezer. Currently they are storing frozen food in a dozen or so home refrigerators, and that’s just not efficient or a good use of their limited warehouse space. Visit their website to donate online. Go to SunshinePantry.org and click on “What We Need,” scroll to the bottom and click on the donate button to use PayPal.

Rock The Grange
Saturday, August 16, 7:30-10 pm, Leedy Grange Hall, 835 NW Saltzman

After a couple of months off, live music will be back at Leedy! Our house band 1Wire will be joined by Inevitable Boogie to provide great classic rock to get you out on the dance floor. Board games and kids activities in the dining area, along with light refreshments. $5 suggested donation will go to Sunshine Pantry.

Pie & Coffee Social
Thursday, August 21, 6-7 pm

Have you ever considered joining the Grange and participating in community service? Or just wonder what’s going on in the green-roofed building on Saltzman? Our meeting is members only, but if you're interested in learning more, come by from 5-6 pm to have some pie and chat with our Master, Rosalea Peters, about Grange and Junior Grange (for kids 5-14). What would you like to see the Grange do in Cedar Mill? What activities would you like to have available? Come prepared with your ideas and participate in a blended non-member and member meeting.

Leedy Grange Community Fair & Open House

Come by and learn about the Cedar Mill community and various organization that help strengthen our unincorporated area! Look for posters coming soon with a schedule of events.

We are inviting local businesses to join us at our Community Fair and promote your business in Cedar Mill. You can join us by providing flyers with information about your business, coupons/give-aways for customers, or by setting up a table at the fair.
