Hopelink Food Bank needs holiday donations

Hopelink Food Bank needs donations

Hopelink’s Shoreline food bank serves about 400 local families every month, and demand is always greater during the holidays and throughout the winter months.

While a lot of people in the Shoreline community are already planning festive meals and extra holiday baking, many families who are struggling still need basic, nutritious food to help them weather the winter months.

The greatest needs heading into the holidays are:

• Canned fruit and vegetables
• Peanut butter
• Tuna
• Rice
• Pasta
• Canned beans and prepared meals
• Cereal and oatmeal

To donate, stop by the Hopelink Shoreline Center at 15809 Westminster Way N, Monday through Friday between 9am and 5pm, or call center manager Leslie Brooks at 206-440-7300.
