Elected officials and community leaders throughout South King County gathered for Multi-Service Center’s second annual MSC Helps Luncheon on Oct. 22 at Emerald Downs.

This year’s luncheon was co-chaired by Federal Way Councilman Bob Celski, Jim Berrios and Pete Lewis. Over 200 guests heard from retired colonel Mary Forbes, assistant director of Veterans Services at the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs. While the event supports all of Multi-Service Center’s programs throughout South King County, the focus of this year’s event was how the community can support our veterans.

The event raised over $53,000. Donations can be made at www.mschelps.org/donate/.
