RISE & SHINE and Fight Hunger
It’s inconceivable to some that a small restaurant chain championing local ingredients, 40 local musicians, and a ‘little engine that could’ food relief organization would form such a unique partnership. However, it’s the Pacific Northwest, and anything is possible here.

Hunger Doesn’t Vacation
The past year we’ve seen a significant increase in the number of families we are serving through our front door with emergency food and clothing. As the need has grown, I am happy to report we’ve also had the ability and willingness to grow our services. In a time when resources are ever shrinking I’m proud to say we’ve actually been able to expand our capacity and respond to the unprecedented need by now being open on Saturday’s. One day may not seem like much, but this extra day will allow us to reach families that are not able to make our standard Monday-Friday hours. This is particularly great for low income working families or single parents that can’t get away during the work week.
In a former client’s own words…
It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me: our staff has been so busy with an influx in clients served and new fundraising events and partnerships. In the coming weeks I’ll be sharing in more detail all of the exciting new activities that the Sunshine Division has cooking this summer. However, today I wanted to share with you a letter that I received a few days ago.
