Boxes and Bags for Barcelona

 

On Saturday, May 13, a small caravan of cars, pickup trucks and SUVs lined up at the Bellingham Value Village for the team clothing drive official weigh-in. Our large collection of gently used clothing and small household items raised $867 towards our team soccer training trip to Barcelona. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this successful project!

Mulching Madness

The Rent-a-Ranger program returned to the shores of Lake Whatcom to assist repeat customers move and spread out 20 yards of mulch!

Half-acre winter clean up

 

Two Rent-A-Ranger crews were out on Earth Day: Four Ranger players tackled winter clean up for a half-acre yard near Lake Whatcom, clearing fallen branches and raking leaves, and move it all to the  edge of the lot. And another team at another home dug a curtain drain, cleared a stump, and spread 15 yards of beauty bark.

Painting and (un)Planting

On a rainy day in February, a team of 10 players, 2 parents, and our coach tackled two big jobs for a homeowner in Edgemoor: painting the interior of the garage and digging out some overgrown shrubs. What a great experience extending our teamwork off the field!

The handwritten thank you note really made our day!

Rangers helped a Lake Whatcom family prepare for winter by splitting and stacking firewood, cleaning up wooded trails, and cutting back shrubs around the house.
