WAYS TO HELP
Final push for donations
Two local high schools will be taken over next week by massive meal-packing events to help the hungry in Haiti as well as Snohomish County, and they need donations to reach their goals.
• Snohomish High School hosts its annual event Wednesday to assemble about 150,000 meals.
Snohomish still needs $4,000 to meet its $41,000 goal. Mill Creek has about $400 left to raise, which would bring the group to about $15,000. Volunteers also are welcome.
