End Summer Hunger

End Summer Hunger is Hopelink's grassroots campaign that provides food for the 11,000 kids in North and East King County who normally receive free and reduced-fee breakfasts and lunches during the school year. Last year our community of caring donors raised nearly $170,000 in cash and food to help low-income families feed their children.

Hopelink and the children we serve need your help again in 2008. And helping is easy, since Hopelink can provide you, your workplace or community group materials to organize fundraisers or food drives for the End Summer Hunger campaign.

Thanks to Hopelink's unique purchasing agreements, a cash gift is almost 10 times more effective than food. A gift of just $20 allows us to provide nutritious lunches for 16 kids.
