Knit Nite Food Drive

Last Knit Nite we asked our customers to bring in food stuffs for an emergency food drive for the Ronald McDonald House and we had a fantastic turnout. We were able to donate over $600 worth of food and other necessities! Because we were so successful, we were asked to do the same for another worthy group, Hopelink.

The Hopelink Shoreline serves low income residents of Shoreline and Lake Forest Park. Services available include regular food banks, eviction prevention, energy assistance, holiday gift rooms, school supplies, emergency financial assistance, Basic Food (food stamp) education and outreach, literacy, ESL classes, and family development case management. (The kids that benefit from this service are often the kids that receive free lunch during the school year.)

They are currently in need of the following items:
Canned Fruit
Plain Rice and Grains
Canned Beans (Chickpeas, Kidney Beans, etc.)
Dry Beans
Peanut Butter
Tuna

Bring in any of these items for donation to this Friday's Nite Knit (June 1, 2007) and we will enter your name into a drawing for a door prize.
