As tradition, volunteers came out across the peninsula on Sept. 6 to help out their communities for a few hours on the National Day of Service and Remembrance. In Sequim, the City of Sequim and United Way of Clallam County sponsored several events.

City officials reported 28 volunteers for taking out kinnikinnick near Carrie Blake Park and painting fire hydrants throughout city streets. The Sequim Boys & Girls Club, Sequim Food Bank, Parenting Matters Foundation and Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church hosted and/or led volunteer activities as well.

The event kicked off the United Way’s annual fund drive, which has a goal of $1 million for 26 partner nonprofits and initiatives.
