Eastside Fire - Food, Toy, Clothing Drive Nov. 23-25

Issaquah, WA – On November 23-25, members of Eastside Fire & Rescue, First Due Movers, and
Fred Meyer are teaming up for a food, toy, and clothing drive.  First Due Movers has once again donated a
24-foot moving truck that will be located in the Fred Meyer Shopping Center over a three day period.  The goal this
year is to fill the moving truck twice with donated food items, unwrapped toys, and new or gently used clothing. 
Eastside Fire & Rescue’s Reindeer Engine will also be on display to the public and available for a photo opportunity to anyone who donates an item.

Last year, 15,000 pounds of food, toys and clothing, in addition to $1,100 in cash donations were generously donated by the public.  Our goal is to surpass what we were able to accomplish last year, but we need your help. 
All donations will go to the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank and the Mt. Si Food Bank who assist many local families in need. 

Stop by the Issaquah Fred Meyer Shopping Center on November 23-25, to drop-off your food, toy, and clothing item.  Help us help someone less fortunate this year.
