Hopelink food collection October 20 and 27 at Church of the Redeemer
Hopelink is critically low on food, toilet paper, and toiletries right now. Bring a donation on Sunday, October 20, 2013, or Sunday, October 27, 2013 and leave it in the narthex (entry hall) at Church of the Redeemer. Your donation will be delivered to Hopelink.
Canned food, pasta, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoos, and soap are all appreciated.
What is Hopelink?
Times have changed in the 40 years since a group of neighbors assembled a few desks and chairs in Bothell City Hall and started hunting down jobs for unemployed workers. What began as the Northshore Job Referral Service is today Hopelink – the largest social services agency serving north and east King County, Washington.
