Help Benefit Spokane’s Hungry!!!
Transitions & 2nd Harvest Food Drive
Spokane, WA- Transitions is collecting items to take part in the Feinstein Foundation Matching Gift program. This Foundation will match each dollar raised or pound of food donated by adding an additional percentage based on a national scale. Transitions is partnering with 2nd Harvest to aid in the effort of fighting against hunger in the Spokane community. This food drive will directly benefit those in need within Transitions and 2nd Harvest by supplementing the growing need for food.
The food drive will kick off on March 1st and end on April 30th. Food barrels will be placed at each site of Transition’s for items to be dropped-off. If your business or church would like to collect items-please call Terri Antonson 509-328-6702 to set up a barrel delivery.
