GO-OP: Work Party at the Hopelink Kirkland Food Bank; Tuesday, July 28th, 5-7 pm; (we know it’s not the most convenient time, but they don’t take weekend volunteers—and this is as late in the evening as they go) here are the details.

WHEN: Tuesday, July 28th, 5-7 PM

WHERE: Hopelink Kirkland/Northshore Center, 11011 120th Ave NE, Kirkland, WA  98033

WHY:  When a family doesn't have enough food - the most basic human need - stability in other areas is impossible. Hopelink provides food for survival and nutrition education for self-sufficiency.

WHAT: i.e. Food bank and warehouse projects. These will include, but not limited to, sorting donations, restocking our shelves, repacking bulk product, organizing and cleaning work spaces, and more.
