• The next pop-up lunch event, sponsored by the Equity, Housing, and Human Services

August 16 from 12-1:30 p.m. at Liberty Park. Lunch, personal hygiene kits, and socks will
be available to those with food insecurities and/or who are unsheltered.
• “Renton Roots Farm to You” is an eight-week food delivery program to US Service
Veterans who live at Compass Housing Alliance, the Veterans housing facility in Renton.
The program was created by Farmers Market Coordinator Carrie Olson and two of the
City’s AmeriCorps VISTAs—Sophie DeWitt and Victoria Kvitek. On Tuesdays, fresh
produce is purchased at Renton Farmers Market with funds from the Veterans, Seniors
and Human Services Levy (VSHSL) grant. The next day VISTAs, Renton staff and
volunteers, and staff from Compass Housing Alliance create produce packs that are
delivered to 53 participating veterans and their families. Food deliveries will continue
each Wednesday through August. For more information contact Carrie Olson, Farmers
Market Coordinator, at (425) 430-7214 or Carrie Nass, Recreation Director, at (425) 430-
