Canned food. Baby food. Staples
like flour, sugar and cooking oil. Peanut butter and bread
for kids’ lunches. Pasta. Chili. Salt. Anything. The soup
you don’t have room for. The vegetables that were on sale.
The cereal your baby doesn’t like. If it’s good
food—unopened and unexpired—the Issaquah Food Bank really
needs it. Families in crisis means pets in crisis—and a
desperate need for pet food, too. Don’t let your neighbors
go hungry tonight. Please give what you can. Food donations
may be left in the Church, downstairs next to the elevators.
