Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scoggins and Our First Responders During the State of Emergency
The Seattle Fire Department works diligently to keep our community safe and healthy through fire prevention and rescue, providing emergency medical services, and much more. In 2019 alone, the department received more than 150,000 calls for service. Their mission has been made even more challenging by the outbreak of COVID-19, with first responders on the frontlines of the pandemic helping community members in need. Join us on Wednesday, April 29 to hear from Seattle Fire Chief and fellow Seattle 4 Rotary member Harold Scoggins about how the Fire Department has been impacted by COVID-19 and how they’re adapting to face these new challenges.
Chief Scoggins has more than 30 years of experience in the fire service. He started his firefighting career as a member of the United States Air Force where he served as a firefighter. In 1989, Scoggins joined the Glendale Fire Department where he advanced through the ranks serving as Firefighter, Engineer, Captain, and Battalion Chief and in 2008 being named as Fire Chief. In April 2015, Scoggins became the Chief of the Seattle Fire Department.
Thursday, May 7th at 11:00am ADVANCED REGISTRATION REQUIRED

HARVEST AGAINST HUNGER COVID-19 RESPONSE UPDATE
Harvest Against Hunger (HAH), a program of our Rotary district, is working with its hunger relief partners across Washington to develop plans and best practices for hunger relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. To learn more, visit the COVID-19 Resource Page on the Harvest Against Hungerwebsite. Here is the latest:
With the help of Seattle 4 Rotarian, Crysti Chen, HAH is delivering 20,000 surgical masks that will be distributed to food banks across Washington to help keep their volunteers and staff safe as they serve those in need in their communities
HAH is expanding its King County Farmers Share and Farm to Food Pantry initiatives to provide early-season funding to farmers who have been impacted by market and restaurant closures, and is building a new program with partners at PCC Community Markets and the Neighborhood Farmers Market Association to support local farmers and 15 food banks across Seattle.
NEW TODAY: Rotary District 5030 and Harvest Against Hunger are developing a Rotary Global Grant initiative to fund capacity improvements that will help King County and South Snohomish County food banks safely handle perishable foods like meat, dairy, eggs and produce. More details are available on the District 5030 Grants Page.
Even though large-scale volunteer shifts have been cancelled at Northwest Harvest and Food Lifeline, local foodbanks still need volunteer help to serve an increasing number of clients - including many who are requesting food for the first time. If you are interested in volunteering at a local food bank, please visit the COVID-19 Resource Page to learn more and search for food banks near you.
Are you a member and at-risk for the coronavirus and would like help with grocery shopping, picking up pet supplies, or anything else that could put you at risk? There are lots of Rotary members who want to help and keep you safe.
