Edmonds Bartell Drugs to take part in NW Harvest Food Drive
Edmonds Bartell Drugs
“Stock the Pantry” summer food drive. All of Bartell’s 55 locations, including the Edmonds store, will be accepting donations through June 14. Bartell Drugs launches the “Stock the Pantry”food drive with Northwest Harvest by accepting nonperishable food donations at all 55 Bartell Drug
locations from June 1 to June 14. The drive builds on a long-time relationship between Bartell’s and Northwest Harvest to support in-need families in the communities we serve.
This two-week food drive is especially important to help Northwest Harvest replenish food stocks during summer months–when families that normally depend on free or reduced-price school meals may struggle to provide those meals at home.
Some “kid-friendly” food item suggestions include tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, cheese crackers, applesauce and canned fruit in individual serving sizes.
