The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WAITSBURG – The Waitsburg Resource Center (WRC) is hosting a visit from the Northwest Medical Teams International Mobile Dental Clinic on Wednesday, July 29.

The center receives commodities under the Federal Food Assistance Program, channeled through the Blue Mountain Action Council.

Financial and food donations are always welcome and may be delivered during regular center hours: Thursdays from 2-4 p.m. and Saturdays from 9-11 a.m. The center is currently in need of peanut butter, canned tuna, sugar, flour, beef flavored ramen noodles and toilet paper.
