Fall Food Drive 2021


The Food Drive is currently on hold, due to Covid--check out a report from our 2018 Food Drive below!

The students of Kennydale Elementary School, their parents and other caring Kennydale residents came together again to make the Annual Fall Food Drive a great success, with 2416 items of food being donated.  The collected food was delivered each day to the Reach Center of Hope in Renton, who utilizes these donations to support the work of the Center and also the Renton Meal Coalition.  Here is an excerpt from the Center’s January 2019 Thank-you message to the public:
 
“Thanks to all of our wonderful End-of-Year gift givers, including…...
Kennydale Neighborhood Association & Kennydale Elementary School
The neighborhood association once again sponsored their long-running food drive, which took place over the entire month of November.  Showing that caring can happen at any age, the students at Kennydale Elementary were heavily involved and our pantry is now well stocked – supporting both the Center of Hope as well as the Renton Meal Coalition!"

​The 2019 winning class (for Nov. 2018 food drive) at Kennydale Elementary was the Third Grade class of Ms. Margie Dugan, who collected 204 food items!  A Pizza Party for them was held on April 5th, with delicious pizzas donated by the Papa John’s Pizza restaurant on NE 4th Street.
​
Special thanks are due also to our Food Drive Chairperson, Marcie Palmer, and the other Kennydale residents who picked up the food donations throughout the Drive and transported them to the Reach Center of Hope: Michael Palmer, Leah & Jack Battin, Paul & Pam Miller, Dave Huhs, Marlene Winter, Debbie Keppler, Pat Conger, Sharon Moats, Lynne Milnor, and Darius & Vicki Richards.
