Good morning, 12s.
Here's a look at what's 'out there' for today – Wednesday, March 6 – about your Seattle Seahawks:
Lending A Helping Hand
Right before the winter storm hit in February, one group out in our community was thinking very selflessly. The Whatcom chapter of the Sea Hawkers, the official booster club of the Seattle Seahawks, organized a sock drive after learning that socks are the number one needed item for the homeless in Seattle. The group of dedicated Seahawks fans took it upon themselves to corral a few local businesses, their own members, two other Sea Hawkers chapters, and a local radio station to support them in their collection efforts. The final number of socks collected by the group through countless donations totaled to 1,212 pairs of socks ranging in all sizes.
With a mountain of socks collected, the group made their way around the community during the winter storm to distribute the socks based on size and age group between three separate charities—Lighthouse Mission, Lydia Place, and NW Youth Services.
Once the snow melted and the storm cleared, their community efforts were far from over. The Sea Hawkers then regrouped to assemble 180 care packages using money they'd raised during a summer car wash fundraiser. Each care package consisted of additional socks, soap, water, granola bars, oranges, and various snacks. Aside from dropping by a few charities, they directly handed out some of the care packages to the homeless population in Bellingham to see exactly the impact of what they were doing.
