Last year’s event brought in 5,500 pounds of food for the Mt. Si Food Bank and 2,500 pounds to the Fall City Food Bank. Overall, more than 30,000 pounds of food were given to six Eastside food banks along with $8,000 in cash.

“We were able to feed 5,000 people six meals each,” said Robert Johnson, president of the Bellevue South Stake, which oversees 10 congregations in five cities.

“We are striving to be members of the community, helping our neighbors, strangers, those our members may not interact with just on Sundays” said Johnson.

Members of the North Bend and Snoqualmie congregations will leave flyers on doors prior to the food drive. Residents can set out food on the doorstep for pick-up, or donate food at any one of the local, participating grocery stores.
