There is a great need for donations at the North Helpline Emergency Services and Food Bank in the Lake City/Northgate area. They are at an all-time low for donations, which makes holiday giving difficult.
Pick up some extra items while grocery shopping for your own families and drop them off at 12736 33rd Ave. N.E. in Seattle, Tuesdays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For a list of the most needed food items, visit www.northhelpline.org.
Here are a couple more ways to help: Get the family to volunteer at a food drive at one of the local grocery stores. Or donate to North Helpline's Baby Cupboard and Toddler Program, which has a need for formula, baby food, non-perishable food staples for kids ages 2 to 5, diapers, wipes, toothbrushes, hygiene products (shampoo, soaps, lotions), and other baby supplies for families with children younger than 2.
