Donation Thanks
Dear Editor: Sitkans Against Family Violence would like to thank Sitka Community Schools for several donations we received recently. Two groups of young students in the Ventures program baked cookies and cupcakes, sold them, and chose to donate the considerable earnings to SAFV. Besides that, our residents received a huge pan of pancakes and sausages just in time for a wonderful breakfast.
We want to thank Ms. Alarcon and her students, Mira Mayo Davidson, Kaiya Tugman, Gemma Diehl, Morgan Crenna, Banyan Mayo, Abby Ward, Jade Kubik, Kaylen Tubman and Henry Ward for their generosity, dedication and hard work.
We are impressed that Community Schools offers opportunities where students can practice altruism and learn the pleasures of giving. We are deeply moved that they picked SAFV. On behalf of the children and women who reside here we thank them from the depth of our hearts.

Caroline’s Carts
Dear Editor: We would like to thank all of the people who helped make the Wash Away Hunger event on Saturday successful. We were able to collect over 250 pounds of food for the Salvation Army and enough money to purchase 1 Caroline’s Cart! A special thank you to the Sitka Fire Department, especially Chief Miller, Assistant Chief Stevens, and engineers Snowden and Ranke for helping us get organized and they even helped wash cars!
Our goal is to purchase three carts (one for each grocery store!) so we are still looking for donations. We will be at Super Saturday, July 26, at the Fire Department with Girl Scout cookies!
Thanks again for helping with this important project.
