Fraternal organizations collaborate to aid community

Thursday, February 17, 2022

Back row (L – R): John McSweeney, US Army (Ret), Elks #1800 Veterans Committee Chair; Richard Garrison, US Navy, Elks 1800 and American Legion Post #227 Member; Richard Christianson, US Navy, Elks #1800 & American Legion #227 Member; Bruce Sagor, Elks #1800 Chaplain; 

Front Row: Sherri Pelletier, Elks #1800 Exalted Ruler; Debbie Martinson, American Legion Auxiliary #227 President; Sarah Andrews, US Navy, American Legion #227 Member.


Shoreline Elks Lodge #1800 recently donated $5,500 to the Shoreline American Legion Post #227 with the intent of providing additional, collaborative support to assist the Shoreline community-at-large, and displaced veterans in particular, to fight hunger, homelessness and COVID-19.

During the past two years, members of the Shoreline Elks and American Legion combined part of their volunteer efforts to purchase perishable food, transport it to prep kitchens and, ultimately, prepare and deliver hot meals to needy veterans and other members of the community. 

This cooperative venture was developed, in part, because of the greater difficulty each organization faced in the execution of their respective in-house large projects because of the pandemic. 

Because of various waves of the virus, there has been a significant increase in the number of people needing these services. 

When Elks volunteers heard of their partner organization’s need to replace their dying refrigeration system, the Lodge made the financial donation to purchase a new refrigerator and restore the American Legion Post’s ability to continue helping their Shoreline community.

This year alone, the Legion Post’s delivery of perishable food to Compass House's Shoreline Veterans Center amounted to150 pounds per week. Meals were served for up to four dozen individuals biweekly. 

This amounted to an increase of over 50% in the number of people served last year. The monthly home delivery of food and meals to the families of disabled and disadvantaged veterans also increased proportionally during the same period of time.

With or without the impact of COVID, the Shoreline community will continue to face the need of food assistance for the needy. 

If you would like to donate food, money or your time to help out with this program, please contact:

4-Corners.org Hopelink Fundraising Drive

Thursday, October 14, 2021


4-Corners.org continues its fund-raising drive to fill Hopelink’s shelves and help end hunger in Shoreline. Our goal is $10,000 – and generous friends have already contributed $5,365. Please give generously to push us over the top – and beyond.

https://tinyurl.com/4C4Hopelink

The End Family Hunger Campaign supports Hopelink to help families in need of food and other resources. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of families in our community have had their lives turned upside down. Many continue to struggle. 

Every day, members of our community visit food banks for nutritious food for their families. At Hopelink, they also receive a renewed sense of hope, knowing they are not alone.

Many thanks to the many who have donated so far.

Since 2014, the 4-Corners neighborhoods in Shoreline have collected over 3 ½ tons of food during our annual Hopelink Food Drives at our local QFC. 

During the pandemic we’ve had to switch gears and go digital. Hopelink actually gets more benefit from dollars than it does from food donations. They can buy exactly what they need and there is no waste. They can buy in bulk and receive discounts that we cannot. There is no need for a list of items needed. Cash works and this is a safe, no contact way for you to help. Please join us in this effort to defeat hunger.

https://tinyurl.com/4C4Hopelink

Please, click the link and give today!

4-Corners.org is a 503(c)3 and a collaboration of the four neighborhoods whose corners meet at Richmond Beach Road and 8th Ave NW: Hillwood Neighborhood Association, Richmond Beach Community Association. Innis Arden Neighborhood, and Richmond Highlands Neighborhood Association. 4-Corners' mission is to build community and support the neighborhoods.
