Tacoma Non Profits

The Alchemists continue their visits to Tacoma non profits to learn how they help the community. They went to the Tacoma Rescue Mission and learned that they serve up to 400 dinners a night and that as many as 100 children sleep at one of the shelters every night. The Alchemists passed out hygiene bags to people at the shelter then got to sort donations that will go into other bags. It was a good lesson as to how the donations Seabury made before the holidays are sorted and then distributed to those in need.

The Alchemists also went to the Humane Society where they got a tour and met all the adoptable animals. The sad news is the shelter handles as many as 10,000 animals a year but the Alchemists learned ways to help like encouraging people to spay or neuter their animals and make sure they have a microchip. Of course, the Alchemists wanted to take every animal home but found out you have to be 18 to adopt.
