Wellness foundation reports school mental-health reach and senior-meal volume
Summary
The Rainier Foothills Wellness Foundation told the Eden Plus City Council it has served 82 students in local schools and runs a hot-meals program delivering roughly 400 meals weekly to seniors; the foundation asked for continued city partnership and support.
Tammy Verhus, interim executive director of the Rainier Foothills Wellness Foundation, told the council the foundation "we have served a total of 82 students," with 62 at Enumclaw High School, nine at Enumclaw Middle School and 11 at Thunder Mountain. Verhus said six Enumclaw High students have "graduated from therapy," and she described a behavioral metric that moved from 0.69 to 1.016, which she characterized as a 32% improvement.
Verhus also summarized the foundation's senior hot-meals program, saying it serves about 66 current seniors and has prepared "about 400 meals prepared from scratch each week" delivered in three weekly runs, supported by roughly 87 volunteers. She thanked the council for its previous support and invited members to contact foundation staff or outgoing executive director Sarah Stratton with questions.
