Pantry Soup Warmed by Tea Candles Today we’re going back to the pantry, and back to the tealight stove (mentioned in Day 2).

On Thursday, May 30th, Neighbors Ready! board members Cate Arnold, Karen Ronning-Hall, and Bill Hall joined Congresswoman Bonamici and many dedicated local leaders and community partners to celebrate $946,956 in funding that Bonamici helped to secure for Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD). THPRD will use the investment to improve emergency preparedness across its facilities and increase the community’s climate resilience. With more intense and frequent extreme weather caused by the climate crisis, it’s important to have safe spaces where people can go in the event of extreme heat, wildfire smoke, or any other emergency. Thank you, Congresswoman Bonamici
