09-07-19


I’ve been looking for volunteer options since we moved to Seattle.  I thought Samaritan would be a good fit but it didn’t work out.  Bruce had toured and liked the Orion Center, so when I saw a NextDoor plea to help serve brunch monthly there,  in 1984. At the time, it was one of the first programs in the nation to receive a federal grant enabling six agencies working with runaway awe signed up.  It was laid back and fun.

The center is a shelter of sorts for youth up to age 24.  Multiple partners created a constellation of services—thus, the name Orion.
