Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for joining us for our annual clothing drive! We are always just blown away at how you show up for foster children in our area. We know Northwest Children’s Outreach appreciates every item. It’s so fun to show up at their Tualatin location with our cars full of donations and we couldn’t do it without the generous support of our friends (that’s YOU). ????
I moved to West Linn when I was 14, and one of the first people I met was Linda Barnes—the warm and welcoming high school secretary. Helping her and her husband sell their home of 40+ years was such an honor. 14-year-old me could never have predicted I’d still be here, helping people buy and sell homes in the community I love. 💚
