Volunteers needed: Senior Coastsiders needs help for Pumpkin Festival

The Pumpkin Fest is Senior Coastsiders' biggest fund-raiser of the year. Volunteers raise money for Senior Coastsiders by selling delicious Portabello Mushroom sandwiches at our food booth and spacious parking spots in our parking lot. On Sunday we hold the popular Pumpkin Run. All proceeds support senior services on the coastside. We really can't do it without you!
