Kirkland Community Rallies for Food Drive

Document Actions

Kick-off Event November 15. Since July 2007, Kirkland residents have made nearly 18,000 visits to Hopelink’s Kirkland food bank.

As the holiday season approaches and the economy remains uncertain, the need for food and other emergency services will increase. Hopelink has turned to the City of Kirkland and the Kirkland community for help.

A community-wide food drive officially launches on Saturday, November 15 with a kick-off collection event sponsored by the Kirkland Youth Council at the Juanita Albertson’s, 9826 NE 132nd Street from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Several Kirkland neighborhood associations are challenging one another to a food drive contest and City of Kirkland employees are currently donating food items. Collection bins will be made available at several community events through December 18.

For collection and donation information, go to www.ci.kirkland.wa.us/fooddrive
