On Nov. 19, Seattle Parks and Recreation’s Lifelong Recreation unit and the program leaders of our East African Senior Meal Program, which is supported in part by the Seattle Park District, co-hosted a Fall Festival at Yesler Community Center. The event was open to the public and more than 80 people attended. Community members enjoyed activities like bingo, arts and crafts, Amharic music, a photo booth, a raffle, and a traditional Ethiopian dinner. Volunteers who support both the meal program and the work being done at Rainier Beach Urban Farm and Wetlands were recognized at the event and will receive a Denny Award for outstanding volunteer stewardship on December 6.
