Volunteers will be required to stand at participating grocery store entrances, encourage shoppers to purchase and donate select foods that will be distributed to Kirkland and Eastside neighbors in need. This is a volunteer opportunity for teens age 14 and older and for a parent and teen combination.

The event will have three two-hour shifts of 9:45 a.m. to noon, 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 1:45-4 p.m.

The locations of the participating Kirkland grocery stores are PCC, Metropolitan Market, Red Apple, Safeway and QFC.

This project is a partnership of the city of Kirkland and Hopelink. To sign up for available volunteer shifts visit www.kirklandwa.gov and search “Month of Concern.”
