On
November 15th 2013, the Kneip family and their crew start their
seven day mission to feed families in need. It is the 6th Annual Families Helping Families Thanksgiving Food Drive,
and they are hoping that their fundraising challenge will provide enough food
to feed 1,000 families this year.
The 6th Annual Families Helping
Families Thanksgiving Food Drive is to take place at the Bellevue Village
QFC, November 15th-23rd. The FHF team has invited the Bellevue High
cheer squad and football team to come along and join in the fun at the food
drive, and many loyal volunteers in the community.
The Families Helping Families Thanksgiving Food Drive is
a grassroots charity effort, which strives to provide full traditional
Thanksgiving meals for families in need. Focusing specifically on those who do
not qualify for outside aid, but still have to face the decision of what they
can give up in order to feed their children.
Our volunteers, donors, and recipients are all
residents of the same area. In addition to procuring meals, we take pride in
offering local families the opportunity to participate in a hands-on charitable
project. Our goal is to build a legacy of love, and to give every family
in our community a reason to be thankful.
To sponsor The 6th Annual Families Helping Families Thanksgiving Food
Drive, donate at
the Downtown Bellevue QFC.
This
year we are excited to announce that we have added a new, easy way to donate to
the Food Drive!
We
have partnered with www.projektkarma.com
which is a crowdfunding site for social good causes.
We
have posted a project on the site in which you can make a safe, secure
donation, easily in just a few minutes.
You
can also see our video and some pictures from past drives. Please check out our
project page
at https://www.projektkarma.com/projekts/page/pid/188
and donate whatever you can, so that we can feed as many families as
possible. All the funds will go to
feeding families in need this Thanksgiving!
Ann Oxrieder, former spokesperson
for the Bellevue School District, says:
“I’ve been in this district for 25 years and
I’ve never seen an increase like that the whole time I’ve been here, it’s just
astonishing that anyone would take on a project of this magnitude.” -ENDS-
