How does a neighborhood manage to collect over 600 pounds of non-perishable food for HopeLink during tough economic times?

The Ridgecrest Neighborhood makes it look easy. The simple answer is to find a convenient and easily accessible drop-off spot.

Cafe Aroma at 509 NE 165th partnered with the Ridgecrest Neighborhood to collect food donations through the months of November and December.

Cafe Aroma, a locally owned neighborhood coffee shop (and more) has a a wonderful staff and a drive-up window which made dropping off food donations a breeze.

Getting out the word about the Food Drive in every way possible was integral to a successful event.

Neighborhood bulletin boards, email, Facebook, Websites and posting in the windows of local neighborhood businesses - all done in the hopes of not only generating donations, but also educating residents about the existence of a Shoreline based Food Bank - HOPELINK at 15809 Westminster Way N in the lower Sears parking lot.

The Ridgecrest Neighborhood Association would like to thank all those who participated. And, is proud to announce that the 2012 Food Drive ended with a total of $93.76 in cash and 602 lbs of non-perishable food.

Saturday, December 15, 2012

Flower isn't hungry, but she is
available for adoption from
The Seattle Humane Society
Look for Seattle Humane barrels at King County Safeway stores

‘Tis the season of giving and no animal should go without! That’s why the Seattle Humane Society and Safeway have teamed up again for our annual Holiday Pet Food Drive to help fill the shelves of our Pet Food Bank.

Look for collection barrels in your local King County Safeway store throughout December. Pick up a few extra cans of pet food or a bag of dry pet food – and drop them in! Dry cat food is our greatest need.

Seattle Humane Society’s Pet Food Bank provides pet food every month to more than 1,700 pets belonging to low-income seniors and people disabled by AIDS. Thanks to the Pet Food Bank, more than 1,300 pet owners each month don’t have to choose between self care and pet care. Our volunteers pack, load and deliver this canned and dry pet food to local senior centers, low-income housing complexes, food banks and individual homes. Help us help pets, and people too, by giving to the Seattle Humane Society Pet Food Bank this holiday season.

Ways you can help:

  1. Donate pet food at any King County Safeway store. Just look for our Holiday Pet Food Drive barrel and drop in a bag or can!
  2. Donate pet food through our Wish List at Amazon.com. (send your receipt)
  3. Drop pet food off at the shelter at 13212 SE Eastgate Way in Bellevue anytime.
  4. Donate pet food right from your computer. Order a bag (or two!) from the Wish List.


Seattle Humane Society has been awarded the coveted 4-star rating by Charity Navigator, America's largest independent charity evaluator for the fourth consecutive year! Founded in 1897 to bring people and pets together, Seattle Humane Society provides incredible companion animals for adoption 7 days a week, pet workshops and training, a pet food bank, a low-fee spay/neuter surgery program, humane teen club, a visiting pets program and more.

Thursday, June 7, 2012

Help replenish the food banks
to feed local families

Helping out-of-school children and families in need this summer

"Bartell Drugs' Community Food Drive" continues through this Sunday (June 10) with all Bartells' stores in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties accepting non-perishable food donations.

In association with Food Lifeline, the two-week drive by Bartell Drugs focuses on replenishing local food banks in the summer months when families that normally depend on free or reduced-price school meals may struggle to provide healthy meals at home.

Some "kid-friendly" food item suggestions include tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, cheese crackers, applesauce and canned fruit.

Since 2009, Bartell Drugs' leadership role in summer food drives has generated over 60,000 pounds of food for local food banks.

With the support of our customers, we hope to fill a very important need in the communities we serve," said Bartell's Chairman & CEO George D. Bartell.

Seattle-based Bartell Drugs owns and operates 58 stores throughout King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. Family-owned since 1890, it is the oldest family-owned drugstore chain in the United States.

Hopelink’s End Summer Hunger Campaign to be featured as Groupon Grassroots cause

Friday, June 1, 2012



Following a successful campaign last summer, Hopelink is again teaming up with Groupon Grassroots – the philanthropic arm of Groupon – to raise funds for End Summer Hunger and help feed local kids on summer break.

Hopelink’s End Summer Hunger program will be the featured Seattle-area campaign from June 4-10, enabling Groupon subscribers to make a one-time, one-click $11 donation to support the campaign. Each $11 contribution will pay for a week’s worth of food for two children during the summer months, when the schools’ free and reduced-fee meal programs are on hiatus.

End Summer Hunger is Hopelink’s annual grassroots campaign that brings together local businesses, organizations, schools and individuals to take on the gap in regular nutritious daytime meals for kids on summer break, while also addressing increasing demand at Hopelink’s five emergency service centers. The proceeds from End Summer Hunger stock the agency’s food banks for the high-demand summer months.
Every dollar raised though the Groupon Grassroots campaign will go directly to Hopelink. In addition, BECU will match the first $1,000 in donations dollar-for-dollar.

Bank of America is the presenting sponsor for End Summer Hunger 2012. In addition to Signature Sponsor First Tech Credit Union, additional sponsors are Labor Ready, United Healthcare, Central Market, and Bookey Consulting.

Contribute to the campaign beginning at midnight on Sunday.

Bartell Drugs partners with Food Lifeline for "Bartell's Community Food Drive" beginning May 28

Saturday, May 26, 2012


Bartell Drugs' tradition of helping to fight hunger in the Puget Sound area continues with the 2012 launch of "Bartell's Community Food Drive," a new community partnership with Food Lifeline

Scheduled for May 28 to June 10, "Bartell's Community Food Drive" focuses on replenishing local food banks in the summer months when families that normally depend on free or reduced-price school meals may struggle to provide healthy meals at home.

Some food item suggestions include tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, cheese crackers, applesauce and canned fruit. 

Other suggested items include baby formula, diapers, baby food (boxes or plastic tubs only) and personal care items such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, tissues, shampoo and conditioner, soap and feminine hygiene products.

Throughout the two-week drive, all 58 Bartell Drugs locations in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties will be accepting non-perishable food and other suggested donation items. Since 2009, Bartell Drugs' leadership role in summer food drives has generated over 60,000 pounds of food for local food banks.

"For many families, dealing with food hardship is an ongoing challenge, and the need becomes more acute during the summer months when children are at home," said Bartell Drugs Chairman & CEO George D. Bartell. "With the support of our customers, we hope to fill a very important need in the communities we serve."

According to "Map the Meal Gap-Child Food Insecurity 2011," a recent study conducted by Feed America, 23% of children are at risk of hunger in Washington State. Many are unsure of the source of their next meal.

Seattle-based Bartell Drugs owns and operates 58 stores throughout King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. Family-owned since 1890, it is the oldest family-owned drugstore chain in the United States.

REDMOND, WA – TONIandGUY Hairdressing Academy made another strong showing last week in Hopelink’s March Can Drive competition to help stock the agency’s food banks, but fell short of the final round this week, losing to Guild Mortgage of Kirkland in the final four.

During the competition, TONIandGUY Hairdressing Academy brought in 2,838 pounds of food – an impressive showing during the business’s rookie season in the March food drive.

Guild Mortgage will go head-to-head with Hancock’s Bakery of Redmond in the final round. Defending champ Hancock’s knocked off the Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce in the final four.

To ensure that businesses of all sizes are able to compete on a level playing field, the competition uses a unique scoring system: the total pounds of food donated by a business are divided by the total number of employees, resulting in a competitive “score.”

The four businesses competing in week four collected a total of 5,530 pounds of food and $443 in cash, bringing the total for the campaign so far to 18,670 pounds and $2,454 – closing in on twice last year’s total of 9,809 pounds.

A full slate of 32 local and eastside businesses are set to begin Hopelink’s third annual March Can Madness competitive food drive next week to help stock the agency’s five food banks.

The Ridgecrest Neighborhood Association would like to thank everyone who participated in the Ridgecrest Food Drive for HopeLink food bank over the holidays.

Your efforts helped to make a difference for families in our community.

Local espresso shops Cafe Aroma and Java Jolt were perfect partners for the collection effort. With their drive-up windows, making a donation for HopeLink was as easy as ordering a cup of coffee.

Thursday, December 29, 2011

On Martin Luther King Jr Day, Monday, January 16, 2012, three hours of your time can make a difference in hundreds of lives of local citizens.

That's the day that The Center for Service-Learning and The Foundation 501(c)(3) at Shoreline Community College are sponsoring the 2012 Martin Luther King Day of Service Food Drive.

Your job would be to stand outside a local grocery store and hand shoppers a list of foods they could purchase in the store and donate on their way out.

The food would go to the Hopelink food bank for distribution to Shoreline families in need.

Participating stores are:

  • Central Market, 15505 Westminster Way N
  • Fred Meyer, 18325 Aurora Ave N
  • Safeway, 15332 Aurora Ave N

Volunteers at Top Food and Drug, 1201 N 175th St will collect food for the North Helpline food bank which serves Lake Forest Park, east Shoreline, and north Seattle.

For more information, see the SCC Service Learning website.


Share this information with your organizations - churches, clubs, service organizations.
And plan to shop and donate on that day.
