Local Businesses Take Action during Hunger Action Month
The Northwest Food Partners Network is currently partnering with the following local businesses during their Summer/Hunger Action Month Food Drive for the month of September! You can participate by donating non-perishable goods at Knockbox Cafe, Credit Union 1 Caballeros de San Juan and Plenty Grocery & Deli.
