Washington State Community Action Partnership

Wishing everyone a holiday full of joy and gratitude!

This month, St Andrew's Church is collecting items to build 70 emergency food bags to be delivered to the Bellevue Food Market. Earlier this month, Hopelink staff members Amanda Lopez-Casta?on and Debbie Fellows were invited to share updates on our programs and their impact on our community. The congregation shared that they appreciate hearing about how connecting people to food banks opens access to other Hopelink services they may need. We appreciate St. Andrew's longtime support!
