Ria Wells serves salad at The Kiwanis Club of Issaquah’s meal for the homeless March 31.

On March 31, residents of a local assisted living community volunteered to feed homeless individuals at the fire station on East Sunset Way.

Residents of Spiritwood at Pine Lake, in north Issaquah just outside Sammamish, brought lasagna and salad for 35 people at the fire station.

“Serving salad brought back memories of serving dinner for the homeless in Seattle years ago,” resident Ria Wells said. Wells prepared and served salad for a Pike Place Market Senior Center homeless dinner for 10 years.

The fire station dinner is regularly organized by State Board of Education member Connie Fletcher through the Kiwanis Club of Issaquah, with rotating volunteers.

Spiritwood volunteers once a month, Spiritwood Executive Director Michelle Strazis said.
