Haulin' Oats

We don’t like to toot our own horn that much here at SCG (I know, and we call ourselves a social media marketing agency – the nerve), but yesterday we got the opportunity to do something really great. Nearly the entire Spring Creek Group crew drove down to the Northwest Harvest warehouse in Kent and spent the morning bonding and preparing bulk food items for distribution to deserving Washington families.

Like I said, this isn’t about what we did; it’s about what can be done. If you wish to volunteer time with Northwest Harvest you can visit the Volunteer section of their Website at http://www.northwestharvest.org/Volunteer/Volunteer.htm. Northwest Harvest also works with groups on larger-scale opportunities and has a separate application for those opportunities. Groups can visit http://www.northwestharvest.org/Volunteer/Group_Volunteer.htm to fill out the application. We worked with Stephanie Davison to set up our volunteer time and she was great!

Also, be sure to check out Northwest Harvest on the social Web by visiting their Twitter and Facebook pages.
