Food4Kids would like to thank Becky Winters of the Hearing Aid Center in Ocean Park for her generous $1,500 donation. With her donation, Becky would like to challenge local businesses in supporting the Food4Kids backpack program. Her donation is the equivalent to one weekend’s worth of food. Food4Kids is using this challenge to kick off our first annual August fundraising campaign!
On average, Food4Kids provides 230 bags of food/snacks and beverages to students from the Ocean Beach School District every week. Donations from the community are needed to ensure the success of the Food4Kids weekend food program. Food4Kids is a 501©3 program and all donations are tax deductible.
Donations can be mailed to: Food4Kids, PO Box 441, Long Beach WA 98631or text FOOD4K to 53-555. Contact us via Facebook or at Food4kidslongbeach@gmail.com if you have any questions, would like to volunteer or are interested in partnering with us for future fundraising events.
Our program is funded by private and business donations. All money raised goes directly to purchasing food for students. Our entire team is made up of volunteers.
We thank you and look forward to building stronger relationships with our community and business partners. Please contact Carole Bentley 503-784-7503 or Denise Canonica 425-903-1700 if you have any questions.
