Hoodland Senior Center Rummage Sale and BBQ

August is shaping up to be an exciting month at the Hoodland Senior Center (HSC), with a lineup of events designed to engage the community and support vital programs for local seniors.
Rummage Sale & Barbeque Fundraiser – August 2-3 Join us between 10am and 3pm on August 2nd and 3rd for a rummage sale and barbeque at Mt. Hood Lions Club (24730 E. Woodsey Way Welches, OR 97067). This community event not only offers bargain hunters a chance to discover hidden treasures, but also plays a crucial role in supporting the center’s operations. Approximately 25% of HSC’s funding relies on direct community financial support, making events like the Rummage Sale essential to sustaining services and activities for seniors in the Hoodland area.
Volunteer Opportunity: Bus Drivers Needed
HSC is calling for volunteers, particularly those interested in becoming certified bus drivers. Expanding the volunteer driver pool will make it possible to add trips to the monthly calendar, such as transporting seniors to and from the Hoodland Farmers Market on Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM. By volunteering as a bus driver, community members can directly contribute to the mobility and social engagement of local seniors, ensuring they have access to fresh produce and community connections.
Excursions in August: County and State Fair Trips
Looking to explore beyond Hoodland? HSC has organized two exciting trips for August: County Fair Excursion – August 14th: Join HSC for a day of fun at the County Fair. For just $8, participants will enjoy transportation and admission, soaking in the sights and sounds of local festivities.
State Fair Adventure – August 27th: On August 27th, HSC will venture to the State Fair. This trip includes transportation and admission, providing seniors with an opportunity to experience the excitement of Oregon’s premier fairgrounds.
Spaces for these trips are limited, so interested individuals are encouraged to call soon to reserve their spot. For more information on how you can participate or contribute to these events, please contact Hoodland Senior Center at (503) 622-3331.
These initiatives underscore HSC’s commitment to helping seniors live life to the fullest. Whether you’re looking to support the rummage sale, volunteer as a bus driver, or join in on upcoming excursions, there are plenty of ways to get involved and make a positive impact in the Hoodland community.
