End Summertime Hunger Food Drive at SCC collects over 1,779 pounds of food

From Shoreline Community College

The final tally is in for the May food drive at Shoreline Community College. The End Summertime Hunger for Kids Food Drive coordinated by the Center for Service-Learning at the college raised over 1,779 pounds of food for local food banks. 

The campus alone raised over 1,000 lbs. Local churches: City Calvary Chapel, Calvin Presbyterian, and Shoreline Covenant Church collected over 500 pounds. All proceeds went to local food banks: Hopelink, VOA Greenwood, and North Helpline. 

North Helpline informed us that they are experiencing record lows in their food bank already this summer due to lower than expected donations and that our donations were desperately needed.
