Volunteers needed to help feed volunteers at Holiday Basket and Teen Gift event

Kevin Osborn of Shoreline Hopelink asks

"Can you help feed some amazing volunteers?"

Winter is here and the annual Holiday Baskets event is just around the corner!

For those that aren’t familiar with the event, each year there’s an event in Shoreline that is set up for families in need to come in to shop for free holiday gifts for their kids and pick up various food supplies to get them through the winter break.

This wonderful event is sponsored by an array of partners: Shoreline PTA Council, Shoreline Fire, Rotary, the Y, City of Shoreline, Shoreline Public Schools, and Shoreline Hopelink.

It can’t happen each year without a huge amount of people from the community who come in to help as personal shoppers, pack food bags in advance, register families, help load cars, and more.

These amazing community volunteers come back each year and make the event a masterpiece! Because they are so generous with their time, the sponsors serve breakfast and lunch the day of the event to keep them energized!

We are looking for food donations for the volunteer meal room and could use your help. If you’d be interested in donating breakfast or lunch items (or money to purchase such items), contact Kevin Osborn

Breakfast:
