Mayor and Greenwood resident Mike McGinn is working to combat hunger in King County through the Sept. 25 End Hunger Food Drive, during which volunteers across the county will collect food at participating grocery stores for those in need.

Donations made between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. in the North Seattle area will go to the Greenwood Food Bank.

Each month, the Greenwood Food Bank serves more than 3,000 individuals. Families, children, seniors and individuals with disabilities receive a three-day, nine-meal emergency supply of food. The Greenwood Food Bank also provides homebound seniors with monthly deliveries of food.

The participating North Seattle grocery stores are Greenwood Market (8500 Third Ave. N.W.), Shoreline Central Market (15505 Westminster Way N.), Greenwood Safeway (8704 Greenwood Ave. N.) and Greenwood PCC (7504 Aurora Ave. N.).

Volunteers are needed from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. to help collect food at the participating grocery stores and bring it to the Greenwood Food Bank. Volunteers will work in three-hour shifts. Those interested in volunteering should contact Erin Pankow at epankow@voaww.org or 425.259.3191 x2251.

Donations are accepted at the Greenwood Food Bank from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday at 9041 Greenwood Ave. N. Donations can also be made online at www.voaww.org. For each dollar donated, the Greenwood Food Bank can purchase six meals.
