Upcoming Events
Kennydale's Annual
November Food Drive
This will mark the 9th consecutive year of the Drive, which is a joint effort of the Kennydale Neighborhood Association and the students and staff of the Kennydale Elementary School...and of course all Kennydale residents who want to donate some items! The Drive will run for the full month of November, 11/1 through 11/29. As in past years, the K.E. School will be the collection point for all donated items - please look for the collection barrels in the school’s lobby, just inside the south entry doors. And of course the class that collects the most items will be rewarded with a pizza party! Last year’s winners were the Third Grade class of Ms. Margie Dugan; and overall, the school’s students collected 2416 food items. There was also a substantial additional quantity brought in by other Kennydale residents.
Acceptable donations include non-perishable goods such as canned foods, pasta, boxed meals, juice, etc. In the interest of balanced nutrition, no candy, please! KNA volunteers will again be delivering* the food to the REACH Center of Hope, which is a Renton-based organization that creates a safe environment for mothers and children seeking shelter, a place for showering, laundry, food and counseling. For more information about REACH, please visit www.reachrenton.org.
* As the collection barrels fill up, it is necessary to transport the bags of items to the REACH staff at Renton City Hall. We will greatly appreciate volunteers who can dedicate about one hour, on the day of your choice, to this task. If you can do several days during the month, that’s even better! To get on the volunteer list, or if you have any questions about the Food Drive, please contact the Drive Chairperson, Marcie Palmer, at [email protected] .Also, Marcie will be circulating a volunteer sign-up sheet at the KNA neighborhood meeting on 10/29/19.
