City Calls on Residents to Donate Food for the Hungry

Editor's note: The following is taken directly from the City of Kirkland's website:

It’s that time of year again! Time to show Kirkland’s sense of community and concern for the hungry. Please help your neighbors and friends fill local food bank shelves to feed Eastside families in need. This year, Kirkland volunteers will be collecting food at neighborhood grocery stores Saturday, September 15 and Saturday, September 29 (10am to 4pm). Volunteers are needed at various collection sites in Kirkland. Shifts available are: 9:45am-12:00pm or 11:45am-2:00pm or 1:45pm-4:15pm. 

Please help by signing up for a shift – or two! Select the grocery store of your choice – on the list below. Bring a child - share the feeling of giving back to your community.  Just click on the link and select the shift(s) you want to cover. Your pledge of support is greatly appreciated.
