DELIVERING A HOUSE FULL OF HOPE
The Center
for Spiritual Living, a Seattle landmark church since 1921,
announced today that yet another step has been taken to
support families in Lewis County who have been displaced due
to the devastating flood last November. The Center for
Spiritual Living has stepped from moving bales of free hay
to affected farms to delivering new mobile homes for
families left homeless. Through the coordinating efforts of
church member and ministerial student Collin King, the
church is donating a 2,000 square foot manufactured home
from the Stillaguamish Tribe in Snohomish County to a couple
who lost their home in Doty, Washington during the flood
disaster. The home was donated by Edward Goodridge Jr.,
Director of the Stillaguamish Tribe.
Transporting the home to its new location in Doty is no easy
matter. Stepping up to cover the costs of disassembly and
re-assembly, along with transportation is Toby Murray,
President and CEO of Murray Pacific Corporation/Westfork
Timber Company. It is Toby’s hope that this action can serve
as a great example for other companies to get involved in
supporting the displaced families in this affected region.
“It is truly amazing the power of an idea and the power of
the people who put their intentions out there for the Good
of others – I am proud to be a part of this.” Toby
commented.
Knowing that the house will need an appropriately prepared
foundation site when it arrives in Doty, Court Stanley,
President, Port Blakely Tree Farms is donating gravel for
the new site. He will be joined by a corps of volunteers
from the Center for Spiritual Living and their growing
network of friends, businesses and organizations, partnering
to get make this delivery possible.
