Food Needs On Rise
In January of 2009 we served 7800 people - an increase of 27% from only one year ago. The need is only going to increase as kids who benefit from school's free and reduced meal programs are home for the summer. Find out how you can help End Summer Hunger.

Hopelink Food Bag Campaign
Thursday, May 7, dawn until dusk
Join supporters of Hopelink as we create a one day art installation at the Downtown Park in Bellevue. The art will be built using 5,000 reusable grocery bags. These 5,000 bags represent the number of clients served monthly by a Hopelink food bank.

We encourage people to come to the park on Thursday, May 7, pick up a bag, fill it with groceries for a family and return to any Hopelink Food Bank. We would also welcome an equivalent donation made to Hopelink to let us use our buying power to purchase multiple bags of groceries for hungry families. Make a donation here.
