Grand opening today!

The Kirkland/Northshore site is officially up and running! The Hopelink staff is excited to announce that the site will now be serving clients as the first fully-functioning grocery store-type foodbank they have ever offered.



If you have a chance, go check it out! Everyone has been working extra hard to turn this dream into a reality, and now all their work has paid off with the grand opening of the site.



Today, clients will be able to take their carts, with the help of a volunteer or staff member, and shop for what they want with a certain amount of points to use. They will have a totally different experience than was ever possible with Hopelink in the past.



Hopelink still needs donations to cover the cost of the construction and furnishings at the site, but everyone will agree it was money well spent when they see what Hopelink can now offer its clients.

Thank you everyone involved in the construction and putting together of the Kirkland/Northshore site for all the hard work you put in. All the love you put into this project really shows in the end product. congratulations.
