Shoreline community rallies for November Food Drive in support of Hopelink

Story and photos by Kate Ledbetter

We’ve been blown away by the donation so far, but let’s keep the momentum going to support our neighbors! 

The Shoreline community is coming together this November to support neighbors in need through the Shoreline Food Drive, benefiting Hopelink’s Shoreline location. 

With food insecurity on the rise across the region, community participation is more important than ever.

Throughout the month, residents are encouraged to drop off non-perishable food and essential household items at donation sites across Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Mountlake Terrace, and North Seattle. 

Every contribution helps expand the variety of foods available to Hopelink clients, ensuring families can access culturally diverse, nutritious, and household-staple items.

In addition to donating items, you can also:

• Donate online
