*****UPDATE*****
Thanks to those who stocked up the box with food.
Please remember this pantry box is ***FOOD ONLY **** today I had to remove a not so clean dog harness, shaving cream, lotion and earrings. ***PLEASE TAKE NON FOOD TO THE LIBRARY ONLY****

The Food Pantry in front of the Watts House could use some food items if you have extras.

There is plenty of bagged beans though

Vandalism once again - someone felt they needed to rip open a bag of beans to dump next to the box - sad because it could have been someone’s dinner.
Parents please remind your kids who walk home from school passing the box not to vandalize - instead teach them the importance of this food box. Police will be notified if we see this happening at Watts House

*****COMING UP THURSDAY*****

Scappoose Historical Society brings to the community another History Connections talk on May 28th @ 7pm at the historic Red Barn 53760 West Lane Rd in Scappoose.

Sue Glen will share the history of the railway and lore of the “daddy Trains”. This railway travel from Portland to the coast increased the population of Seaside and Gearhart every summer as visitors flocked to the beach.

Warrenton local, Sue Glen, is well known in history-of-place circles. She has written five pictorial history books, four are based on Clatsop County. Her first was instrumental in the the preservation of Governors Island off the tip of Manhattan as a National Park.

The history connections talks are free to the public and all are welcome to attend.

This Memorial Day, the Scappoose Historical Society would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all Veterans and the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

As we gather with family and friends this holiday weekend, may we also take a moment to reflect on the courage, service, and dedication that helped preserve the freedoms we enjoy today.

We are deeply thankful for those who served, past and present, and for the families who stood beside them.

Wishing our community a safe, meaningful, and peaceful Memorial Day. ❤️
