“Bartell’s Community Food Drive” ongoing through June 1

“Bartell’s Community
Food Drive” supports Food Lifeline programs helping
out-of-school children, families and senior citizens in need this summer, with all Bartell’s
store locations accepting nonperishable food items and personal care
items.

 


Ongoing now through June 1, the drive focuses on replenishing food bank stocks
in King, Snohomish & Pierce counties during summer months--when families
that normally depend on free or reduced-price school meals may struggle to
provide healthy meals at home.

 


Some food item suggestions
include tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, cheese
crackers, applesauce and canned fruit. Other suggested items include baby
formula, diapers, baby food (boxes or plastic tubs only) and personal care
items such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, tissues, shampoo and conditioner, soap
and feminine hygiene products.
