Editor,

On Feb. 14, Whidbey Island Nourishes (WIN) held its annual fundraiser dinner, Heart to Heart, at the Useless Bay Coffee Company in Langley. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Des Rock, his assistant, Dan Fulton, and the staff at the Useless Bay Coffee Co. for hosting our Heart to Heart fundraiser, supplying the food and preparing a delicious gourmet dinner for WIN’s Valentine’s Day celebration.

WIN is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), volunteer-powered organization devoted to preparing nutritious meals for those who are undernourished, focusing on our youth. We depend on funding from generous community support, grantors, and donor organization (whidbeyislandnourishes.org). Currently we are preparing more than 2,000 lunches each month and our numbers are growing.

Des and Co. continually donate countless hours to help further our work. Thank you Des and Dan.
