Hundreds of volunteers from Pine Lake Covenant Church and Sammamish Hills Lutheran Church spent May 10 working for and with 35 nonprofits across the region.

Diane Meehl, professional communications consultant and Sammamish Hills Lutheran church member, said that volunteers of all ages contributed during the Community Day of Service.

Projects included sorting clothes at Eastside Baby Corner, weeding the yards of senior residents on behalf of Eastside Friends of Seniors and lending a hand at Pickering Barn in Issaquah.

“The third annual Community Day of Service was an exceptional day all around,” said Nancy MacPherson, event founder and member of Sammamish Hills Lutheran. “We were thrilled this year to partner with our friends at Pine Lake Covenant Church and hope more churches will join us next year. We plan to continue the event annually and our hope is that the entire plateau looks forward to this day every year as together we lift up those in need.”
