Summer food drive

This article was originally published in July 2018

Did you know that about 12 percent of King County households are experiencing food insecurity? You can help your neighbors in need by contributing to PCC’s summer food drive. During the month of July, donate to our bulk food donation program at any register.

Donation cards range from $1 to $20 — or just tell your cashier an amount of your choice. You also can donate online, any time. Any amount helps a person in need.

Funds raised during this drive will be used to purchase bulk food at cost from our suppliers, then distributed directly to our 14 food bank partners. Food banks tailor their orders to support the unique communities they serve.

Thank you for helping us nourish our neighbors!
