CROP Walk
The date for the 2012 CROP Walk has been set!  We will be walking on May 19th.  We are adding a new element of service to this event this year to celebrate 25 years of the CROP Walk in Kirkland.  That morning, walkers will meet at the Kirkland Northshore Hopelink to sort some of the large amount of food expected from the national letter carrier's food drive from the weekend before.   This will be a fun way for members of various KIN congregations to get to know one another and to provide a much needed service for the food bank.  Your KIN representative will have more information on signing up to walk in the next few weeks so stay tuned.

Alternative Holiday Gift Fair
This year the alternative gift fair was a resounding success.  The fair was held in a beautiful new building at Holy Family Catholic.  The space was large and gave the non-profit groups in attendance plenty of room.  The fair raised  $21,511.71 !  We were thrilled with the results and that so many folks could give an environmentally responsible and meaningful gift to their loved ones and the groups and agencies present could get their message out to so many in our community.

Produce for Thanksgiving
Once again KIN congregations collected produce and various other holiday food items for the Kirkland/Northshore Hopelink food bank.  Together we provided fresh fruit and vegetables along with other traditional foods for over 1100 households in the area.  Sharring God's bounty with others is a tremendous way to show how truly thankful we are.

Back to School Drive

Last year KIN, through the support of our member congregations and the help of other collaborating organizations was able to assist over 250 kids with school supplies.  This allowed these low income students to start the school year off right so they can focus on learning and reaching their full potential.
