Past Events

Sixteen members and friends enjoyed a long overdue summer picnic at Magnolia Park on Sunday, August 22, 2021.  The quiet and peaceful setting was ideal for the many of us as we shared our stories  of events since the onset of the Covid pandemic.  The facilities were complete with running water in the shelter and restrooms just steps away in another building.  As in previous years, Dignity/Seattle provided the burgers, dog, and buns while attendees contributed a wide assortment of salads, sides, drinks, and desserts.  Paula L.

Four Dignity/Seattle members joined with others in sorting a wide variety of baked goods into boxes of buns, bagels, sliced bread, desserts, assorted baked goods, etc.  During the 2+ hour volunteer session 17 pallets were stacked with 10,420 pounds of bread and baked goods which is the equivalent of 8683 meals.  Distribution began the following morning as the pallets were delivered to food banks and homeless shelters to feed those in need.

Dignity/Seattle's second annual Three King's Game Day began at 2pm with a taco lunch provided by member Gerry Roling. Guest Jessica related her adventures on moving to Seattle.  She also provided the fascinating game "Space Cats Fight Fascism" where in the year 3,000,000 space cats are waging a galactic rebellion against a rising tide of fascism and anti-cat bias. Unfortunately we Space Cats lost but those watching the Seahawk's game celebrated the Seahawk's win.

A mighty big thank you goes to all who contributed during the recent Dignity/Seattle Christmas Party towards the purchase of 19 wool blankets for TC5. On Thursday, December 12, 2019, Alan of Dignity/Seattle met with Kyle Monzingo who is the Site Coordinator for the Tiny Cabins Safe Harbor Interbay Village on 15th Ave W. adjacent to the Magnolia Bridge.  Kyle commented on their need for blankets and mentioned that spare blankets will be made available to residents in other Tiny Cabin Villages in the Seattle area.

Great food, wonderful friends, and Delia and Annah's beautifully decorated home and generous hospitality made for a memorable Christmas Party on Sunday, December 1st.  No one left hungry as there was plenty of delicious ham, salads, and pies.  A big thank you goes out to those contributing to this year's collection for the purchase of wool blankets for Tent City 5 at Interbay.
