Bartell Drugs’ tradition of helping to fight hunger in the Puget Sound area continues
with “Bartell’s Community Food Drive,” a community partnership with Food
Lifeline.
Bartell’s Shoreline store will be the site of a major
food donation event on Sunday, May 26, from 2 - 4 pm. With on-site appearances by on-air
personalities from KOMO Radio, the public is invited to bring their kids to
donate a can of food to receive a balloon creation from a balloon artist. The
Shoreline store is located at 18420 Aurora Ave N, Shoreline, WA.
Beginning May 19 through June 1, “Bartell’s
Community Food Drive” focuses on
replenishing local food banks in the summer months when families that normally
depend on free or reduced-price school meals may struggle to provide healthy
meals at home. Food donations can be made at all Bartells locations in King,
Pierce and Snohomish counties.
Nonperishable food item suggestions include tuna, instant
oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jam, cheese crackers, applesauce
and canned fruit. Other 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.
