Generous donations will help community

Speaking for Boy Scout Troop 23 and its charter organization, the North Everett Lions Club, I would like to thank the patrons of both Everett QFC stores for their donations between 6:30 and 8 p.m. Monday. We gathered more than 400 pounds of food, along with a few monetary contributions for the Volunteers of America Food Bank!

Thank you so much for helping your community, and making our food drive a success!
