Community Service is a Key Element for the Grange
Many granges in Washington State participate in the WSDOT’s unique welcome service called the “Free Coffee Programâ€. This program allows non-profit organizations to provide travelers with coffee and light refreshments at no charge.
The service is free to the traveling public, and participating organizations are allowed to accept donations. The monies raised in this fund raising effort are used by local granges to support scholastic scholarship programs, send local kids to summer camps, provide dictionaries to area 3rd grade students, as well as many other civic community services.
Keep watch for what we have coming up in the next several months so you can stop in and say hello.
