Lynnwood Kiwanis Foundation donates 10,000 to Edmonds Food Bank

The Lynnwood Kiwanis Foundation recently donated $10,000 to the Edmonds Food Bank, reinforcing its commitment to community support. Each of the three food banks—Edmonds, Lynnwood, and Concern for Neighbors in Mountlake Terrace—received $10,000 to help address food insecurity. Kiwanis Lieutenant Governor Billie Swengel noted the dedication of the club's members, stating, "We are a small group of dedicated members with hearts of gold. " The donations come at a time when food banks are experiencing heightened demand due to economic challenges faced by residents. This initiative underscores the importance of local organizations in combating hunger in the community.

The Kiwanis Foundation's actions reflect a broader trend of nonprofit engagement in social issues. Continued support from local clubs is essential to sustain these efforts and help those in need. Community members are encouraged to participate and contribute as food banks strive to meet the needs of vulnerable populations.
