Ridgecrest Neighborhood annual Donation Drive for Hopelink now through end of year

The Ridgecrest Neighborhood's annual donation drive for Hopelink, Shoreline's food bank, is now active and will run through December 2025. Residents and non-residents alike can drop off non-perishable food and personal care items at four designated locations on NE 165th. The participating businesses—Cafe Aroma, Ridgecrest Book Store, Ridgecrest Pub, and The Drumlin—offer flexible hours seven days a week to facilitate donations. Essential items sought include canned meats, pasta, hygiene products, and baby supplies. Hopelink serves individuals and families throughout Shoreline, highlighting the community's need for ongoing support.

The drive emphasizes inclusivity, encouraging everyone to contribute regardless of their local residence. Community engagement in this initiative is crucial to addressing food insecurity in the area. By providing accessible donation options, the Ridgecrest Neighborhood aims to foster a spirit of giving and support for those in need.
