Tokens For Tomorrow
|
Each quarter, Skagit Valley Food Co-op selects four Tokens for Tomorrow recipients. With Tokens for Tomorrow, every time you bring in a reusable shopping bag, they honor your commitment to reducing waste with a token worth 5¢ to give to one of four local organizations doing great things for our community. This quarter, Friendship House has been selected as a Tokens for Tomorrow recipient. We are so excited for the support and the opportunity to encourage our community members to remember your reusable bags and help reduce waste when you are shopping. Shop at the Skagit Food Co-Op with your bags and remember to add your tokens to the Friendship House bin. Every penny counts when we work together to serve our community. Tokens for Friendship House are available October 1st thru the end of December. As they say at the Co-Op “Every bag makes a difference”. |

The Friendship House Café went Solar!
The Friendship House Café is going solar! Friendship House has been awarded a $53,499 grant to install a roof-mounted solar renewable energy system.
The grant is funded through PSE’s Green Power and Solar Choice customers to bring local, community oriented solar projects to PSE’s electric service area while providing vital support to those in need through lower utility bills for our low-income or Black, Indigenous, and People of Color customers and the organizations that serve them.
The first phase of the cost saving project including the installation of solar panels on the Café roof has been completed. The next step is connecting to the existing PSE power grid. The long-term benefit is the potential for substantially lower power bills for the Café.
Everyone at Friendship House says THANK YOU to Puget Sound Energy for the grant funds and to Western Solar Inc. for their technical support and timely installation.
Watch our website www.skagitfriendshiphouse.org for pictures and updates as we look forward to “Green Power” in the Café.
