Adult Award

Janice Clare Olson

For over 20 years, Jan Olson has coordinated weekly Community Suppers at Calvary Lutheran Church. Jan was on the Board of Directors of the Federal Way Community Caregiving Network while also serving on the Reach Out Leadership Team. She was as a key contact for hosting our program and meal service, as we first opened the men's shelter in January of 2009.
