Scout organizes food drive for Hopelink this Friday and Saturday at Safeway

When you do your grocery shopping this Friday and Saturday, consider adding a few items for the Shoreline HopeLink food bank.

Shoreline resident Andrew Seger, working with Shoreline HopeLink, has organized a food drive for his Eagle Scout Service Project.

On Friday, September 12 from 6 to 8pm and on Saturday September 13 from 10am to 6pm, Andrew and his volunteer crew will be outside the North City Safeway at NE 175th and 15th NE, asking people to add a few items for the local food bank.

HopeLink reports a local shortage which is not expected to abate until the Holiday food drives begin.

The Shoreline HopeLink normally does not collect enough donations locally to support the need and usually relies on distributions from eastside HopeLink locations.

Andrew is hoping to do something about that.
