Washougal kitchen staff honored

A team of Washougal School District Sodexo employees were recently recognized for their efforts to feed firefighters staged at Cape Horn-Skye Elementary and Canyon Creek Middle Schools during this summer’s Gold Rush Fire.

“Everyone was still out on summer vacation, just weeks before the new school year started, and I received a call about providing breakfast, lunch and dinner meal service to firefighters,” said Mark Jasper, Sodexo general manager at the Washougal School District. “At first my mind was racing with thoughts of where and how I was going to get food to feed them. The location is remote and was totally closed down with nothing on the shelves.”
