SCC month-long food drive for local food banks

Saturday, May 7, 2011

300,000 Washington children receive free or reduced lunches during the school year, but only 11% of those children receive a similar meal during the summer. For many Washington children summer is the hungry time.

Shoreline Community College in partnership with Shoreline Covenant Church, City Calvary Chapel, and Calvin Presbyterian Church is coordinating a month long food drive to help bridge the summer hunger gap. 

You can donate non-perishable food items at any of the partner sites throughout the month of May. All donations will go to local food banks: Hopelink, North Helpline, and Volunteers of America Greenwood to help replenish resources to meet the increased summertime need.

A complete list of drop-off locations and a list of most needed items is on the SCC website. For more information, contact Amber Skidmore at 206-533-6690.
