Make a difference - donate to the food drive of the Richmond Beach Congregational Church June 7, 2025

Richmond Beach Congregational Church will host a Food Drive on June 7, 2025, from 11 AM to 1 PM, aiming to support local children who lose access to school meal programs during the summer. Donations will directly benefit the Edmonds Food Bank, which provides critical assistance to families in the Shoreline area. The drive seeks essential items such as canned fruits, peanut butter, and gluten-free pasta, alongside culturally familiar foods like sesame oil and refried beans. Community members are also encouraged to contribute unopened hygiene items and period products. This initiative highlights the importance of community involvement in addressing childhood hunger.

Last summer, food banks reported an increase in demand, showing the need for ongoing support. By participating, residents can help ensure that children receive the nutrition they need during the summer months. Supporting local food banks fosters a healthier community and promotes well-being for all families.
