Redmond, WA – Despite
being a community of affluence, many of our neighbors still struggle to put
food on the table. This year, Redmond Mayor John Marchione will join with City
Councilmembers, Human Services Commissioners, Redmond Youth Partnership
Advisory Committee (RYPAC), and others in holding a food drive to benefit
Hopelink’s new Redmond food bank.
This
year’s food drive will be on Saturday and Sunday, September 22 & 23 at the
Bella Bottega QFC from 10 am to 4 pm each day. Shoppers are encouraged to
donate healthy foods such as whole grains, nuts, and dried fruit in addition to
staples such as pasta, peanut butter, and canned tuna. Cash donations will also
be accepted.
Each
month, Hopelink distributes over 47,000 pounds of food in the City of Redmond. Mayor
Marchione encourages everyone to “help us stock the shelves by donating
healthy, hearty and nutritious foods that will nourish and feed those most in
need.”
For questions and more information contact Lisa Maher, Communications &
Marketing Manager, at lmaher@redmond.gov or
425-556-2427. This press release is available on www.redmond.gov.
