More Non Profits

The Alchemists are finishing up their visits to Pierce County non profits with a trip to the Rainbow Center and the Emergency Food Network.
At the Rainbow Center we learned more about the LGBTQ community and how we can be allies. The students learned about how the Rainbow Center provides services to the community through sponsoring Tacoma Pride, providing education and a safe space to LGBTQ people.

At the Emergency Food Network the Alchemists learned how they warehouse and supply food to the food banks throughout the area. By buying in bulk EFN can get food much cheaper and then volunteers bag the food into smaller family size bags. The Alchemists bagged 3,400 pounds of rice! It was hard work but also a lot of fun.

The Alchemists are now completing their action plans for how they will help the non profit of their choice. It will be exciting to see what they are able to accomplish!
