Please read the letter below and send your contact information to Brenna 
to be added to the on call list to be a volunteer in case of a flooding disaster.
 
Dear WSCA Members:
 
My name is Brenna Hesch and I am the Mass Care Coordinator at the American
Red Cross serving King and Kitsap counties. I am contacting you with an
idea for a potential opportunity for your members to be involved on a
limited commitment basis that would benefit those in our local community.
As you have heard recently there is a high probability that the entire
Green River Valley will flood this winter sometime between November and
March. This could potentially affect the communities of Auburn, Kent,
Renton, and Tukwila and force thousands of people to evacuate their homes.
 We, here at the ARC King and Kitsap Counties, are working to ensure that
in the event of serious flooding that shelter is available for the
displaced families and persons. Included in our mission to provide shelter
for those individuals is the mission to also provide them with three meals
per day. At the moment we are looking at the possibility of establishing 5
or 6 separate shelters that could house anywhere from 250 to 500 people.
This is why I am asking for help; wondering if any of the chefs that are
members of your organization would be interested in volunteering to be on
call (so to speak) to come and help prepare food in the opened shelters
for the first few days of the initial disaster. The ARC would be providing
supplies and menus but we will need experienced hands to help us with the
volume and execution of such a vast operation on short notice. Having
worked in restaurant service myself I understand that most of your members
have demanding full time jobs that require their presence. However, since
there will be 3 meals a day served at the shelter, it is my hope that
there would be at least one meal that their schedules would allow them to
serve at. 

Please contact me  to have your name added to a list of potential volunteers in case of
a disaster situation.  Please email or call me anytime. My cell phone number is 
206-370-1883. Thank you so much.
