Happy New Year,

As the year comes to a close, we reflect on a full and wild 2022 and look toward an even better 2023. The Fremont Chamber of Commerce, Fremont Arts Council, and Fremont Neighborhood Council are all fantastic organizations that help make our community the Center of the Universe! The list of projects is long and varied, and too many to name. Regardless of your involvement, if you Live, Work, or Play in Fremont, Thank You.

May your holiday season in the Center of the Universe be filled with light and the joy of a fulfilling new year.

Winter Solstice Chant

Vines, leaves, roots of darkness, growing,

now you are uncurled and cover our eyes

with the edge of winter sky

leaning over us in icy stars.

Vines, leaves, roots of darkness, growing,

come with your seasons, your fullness, your end.

What Happens when you shop locally? For every $100 spent at your local store, $68 is added to our local economy.
Buying from a locally owned business conserves energy & resources, which means 1 billion metric tons less CO2 per year.
Local business generates 70% more local economic activity per square foot than big-box retail, which ensures that your sales taxes are reinvested in your community.

Join KEXP and Bloodworks NW for the ‘Music's In Our Blood’ campaign. With blood supply levels at a critical all time low, we are using our collective voices to share the need for volunteer blood donors.

There is an urgent need for blood donations. Bloodworks Northwest reports the local blood supply is running on fumes, as donations are down and patient needs for Type O blood and platelets are at their highest. All eligible donors are urged to make an appointment to donate in the days and weeks ahead. Get involved to save lives by making an appointment today to give blood. Find your nearest donation location and make an appointment at bloodworksnw.org/music.

Home Team Harvest is Washington’s largest annual food drive, and for 22 years, it’s been helping a network of food banks - run by Northwest Harvest - to end hunger in our communities.

HomeStreet Bank’s sponsorship aligns with our focus on giving, which is to support programs that provide housing and other basic needs - such as food.

The Home Team Harvest goal this year is to collect 21 million meals.

Please help us to spread the word, and let’s gather as many non-perishable food items as possible between now and the end of year. You can drop off your donations at
