Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank’s Annual Campaign to Fight Childhood Food Insecurity
Did you know that 2,540 children in the Issaquah School District receive free or reduced-price school lunches and that many of these children and more may need help accessing nutrition outside of school hours? Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank’s Summer Lunch, Power Packs, and Lunch for the Break programs play a vital role in ensuring children have easy access to healthy food at all times.
Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank’s annual Illuminating Hope fundraising campaign — capped off with a fireworks celebration — has raised more than $466,000 since 2015 to support childhood food security in our community. Last year alone, our community came together to help raise over $95,000. With your help and our partnership with The KLD Group at Windermere Real Estate, hundreds of children will be ensured sufficient nutrition every day of the year.
At this time when food costs are astronomical and food supports are continually being cut, we need your help more than ever. Help us reach our $110,000 goal by donating, then join us in celebration from the shore, from Vasa Park, or by boat for our amazing fireworks show over South Lake Sammamish on Friday, July 4th at 10:00 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m.
