Members of the Kent Stake and Maple Valley Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints invite community members to join them in a donation drive supporting the Kent Food Bank, which provides assistance to those living throughout the local community.

Due to current economic conditions, the Food Bank is assisting more than double the usual number of families each week. Each year, the Food Bank relies in part on a couple of large food drives that will not be held due to the virus. Church members are organizing this drive to help fill the gap.

There will be two collection dates, May 30 and June 27. Donations can be delivered to the following drop off locations between 9 am and Noon on both dates:
