With the help of the Helping Hands Food Bank in North Bend and some other local churches, Mount Si Lutheran Church will be collecting and distributing school supplies for those in need.

Families of students who attend school (grades K-12) in the Snoqualmie Valley are encouraged to sign up at the food bank, July 13 to 27, for school supplies and shoes.

School supplies and shoes will be handed out August 17 and 24 at the food bank, located at the North Bend Community Church, 146 E. Third St.

School supplies, shoes and cash donations are needed.

Drop-off sites for supplies will be located at Mount Si Lutheran Church in North Bend, and Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in Snoqualmie.

Checks for school supplies can be made out to Helping Hands Schools and mailed to Nancy Flanagan, c/o Mt. Si Lutheran Church, P.O. Box 487, North Bend, WA 98045.

The supply drive will end on August 8.
