Recent events in Snohomish County have taught us many things, one of which is that the Snohomish County Community is strong. We truly care about our friends, family and neighbors. Over 48,000 individuals will visit a food bank in Snohomish County alone this month, 50 percent of which are children and seniors.
Volunteers of America has been vital to our community, fostering programs for individuals and families alike — this is especially true when it comes to the Everett Food Bank.
The amount of citizens we are able to help would not be possible without the support of the community. Each year, letter carriers collect food from citizens across the nation on the second Saturday of May. The items collected account for approximately 50 percent of the food that food banks receive.
We invite you, our neighbors and constituents to see what you can do to help. Please participate in the annual Letter Carriers Food Drive by filling the yellow bag you’ll find in your mailbox with nonperishable food items and leave it for your letter carrier on Saturday. Every donation makes a difference.
We are proud to be serving the people of Snohomish County, and proud of the generosity so many in our community have already shown and continue to show. This is what makes our community strong, sets us apart, and gives us faith in our future.
