Thanks to our Volunteers!
We had volunteers coordinating with emergency readiness organizations, distribution airports and facilities, supply donors, and fund-raising. We appreciated their help, whether it was for the busy day of the event or all the planning that went into it over the prior 8 months. It was only through their help that we had an incredibly successful event.
Volunteers helped:
On the ground
- Picking up food and bringing it to the airport
- Moving the food onto airplanes
- Offloading airplanes for distribution to local food banks and shelters
In the air
- Flying missions from our hub airports, located both on the west side of the Cascades as well as in Walla Walla, to airports across Puget Sound.
