    PROJECT NEWSLETTER SEATTLE STEWARDSHIP Shout out to all those that gave their time and donations to the Rainier Valley Food Bank (RVFB)! RVFB’s mission is to nourish with good food, empower with knowledge, and serve with compassion. RVFB is currently the busiest food bank in Seattle, out of 26 area food banks, operating from its tiny 1,200-square foot facility. The food bank fulfi lls over 6,000 requests for food each month. Learn more about our impact on the community. More information at www.rvfb.org People who gave also had the opportunity to track their donations as part of the, Dear 2020 campaign to complete three million acts of goodness together in Benevity. TEAM MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Don Hitch started in construction in the 1980s. He built custom homes in South Seattle for 20 years before joining Mortenson in 2007. He started as a journeyman carpenter and worked his way up to a superintendent, which he has been for the last 4 years. His favorite part about this project is the constant challenges. One thing Don values is leading by example which truly embodies the Mortenson principle of “do the right thing”. When he tells someone he is going to do something, he is going to do it and expects the same in return. Don’s primary role on the project is a concrete superintendent. He was a huge part of the success of the zero defects embeds installs. As a native Seattleite who went to many a Seattle Totem hockey game back in the day, he is quite proud to be part of this project due to the uniqueness and history.
