Nourish neighbors by donating food and hygiene items

Bellevue and community partners will collect food and hygiene items from October 1 to November 15 to combat food insecurity among school-age children. Approximately one in four children in Bellevue faces food insecurity, which can negatively impact their health, development, and academic success. The initiative seeks to address the growing need for nutritious food and essential products within the community. Local officials have highlighted the significance of community involvement in supporting families struggling with access to sufficient resources. Donations can include various food items and hygiene products, and residents are encouraged to participate in this collective effort.

This drive not only aims to alleviate immediate needs but also fosters a sense of community solidarity. Historical data shows that food insecurity rates have risen significantly in recent years, necessitating such initiatives. The collection drive will help ensure that vulnerable families receive the support they need during challenging times.
