Orion Runners
ORION TEAM MEMBERS SUPPORT LOCAL FOOD BANK
Has anyone on your team been an inspiration during these challenging times? The Orion Runners have been getting in their Social Distance miles by training for and then running a 24 hour marathon challenge (16 miles one day and then 10.2 the next day). The Runners also ran from Orion's Auburn location to the Auburn Food Bank and volunteered to bag and distribute food.

The Auburn Food Bank is a great resource if you are in need. May was a challenging month for those with food insecurities, and June looks to be difficult as well. If you can, donate to help support our community!



Donated Time and Skill

Orion staff member Don Cooligan from our Mukilteo location has been spending his downtime secluded in his workshop. He created a table, coat rack, Seahawks wall plaques and coasters which were donated to support a local fundraiser auction. Is anyone on your team busy being awesome?
