Last Saturday, June 28, the Ballinger Neighborhood Association (BALNA) held a ‘hygiene drive’ at the North City Walgreens at 17518 15th NE. The event resulted in eight full crates of much needed non-food items (diapers, baby wipes, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, etc.) collected for Shoreline’s HopeLink food bank.

BALNA thanks Walgreens, neighborhood volunteers and especially the many local shoppers who generously bought extra items to donate. The donations will help stock HopeLink’s shelves, where homeless and low income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities can come for assistance.
