3rd Annual Eastside Firefighters Benevolent Fund - Food & Clothing Drive

Would you like to make a difference in someone's life?  Help those who are less privileged, help families in need?  You can do so by dropping off food and new or gently used clothing items this weekend.  
On November 29, 30 and December 1, members of Eastside Firefighters Benevolent Fund, First Due Movers, and Fred Meyer are teaming up for the 3rd Annual Food and Clothing Drive.  First Due Movers has once again donated a 24-foot moving truck that will be located in the Issaquah Fred Meyer Shopping Center over the three days.  The goal is to fill the moving truck twice with donated food items, and new or gently used clothing.  Eastside Fire & Rescue’s Reindeer Engine will also be on display for the public and available for a photo opportunity to anyone who donates an item.  

This year on Friday, November 29, Firefighter Paul Stevens with Eastside Fire & Rescue will begin camping on the top of the 24-foot moving truck in the wind and rainy conditions.  Paul plans to sleep, eat, and visit with the public from the top of the moving truck over the three day period.  With the generosity of the public, our goal is to surpass what we were able to accomplish last year, but we need your help.  All donations will go to the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank and the Mt. Si Food Bank who assist many local families in need. 

 Stop by the Issaquah Fred Meyer Shopping Center on November 29, 30 and December 1, to drop-off your food, and clothing item.  Help us help someone less fortunate this year.
