Ridge residents share 400 pounds of food

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to many Snoqualmie residents.
After years of hearing reminders about how food banks often lack
supplies in the off-holiday seasons, we decided to use some of our time
to draw upon people's natural generous tendencies and facilitate a food drive.
On Saturday, April 22, Snoqualmie Ridge residents left
over 400 pounds of food to benefit area residents in need. On behalf of
the Mount Si Helping Hands Food Bank, located in North Bend and serving
the Valley, we'd like to extend a wholehearted thank you to the people
of Snoqualmie Ridge for their significant contributions. The donations
included a wide variety of canned and boxed goods, including many baby
food items.
We feel privileged to have witnessed the generosity of
many Snoqualmie Ridge residents. It seems that there's always an organization
in need of some kind of help, so we especially appreciate the
contributions that people were able to make for
this springtime effort. Also a special thank you to Candi Pike of Creative
Solutions for help with the food drive coordination, and to Carol and
Gene Stevens of Fall City Family Market, for donating bags for collecting
the food.
Once again, thank you to all of those who left a bag of food for
the cause.
