Eastlake NHS × Project Refill Food Drive
We're collecting food for the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank with Eastlake's National Honor Society. Anyone can give through the Amazon wishlist.
What we’ve been working on.
Our first year: a fundraiser, a greenhouse rebuilt, and a food drive finished.
Latest from the team.
Bigger food drives.
Stronger partnerships.
We're building on what worked in year one: more food drives, and closer work with the partners that make them possible.
Looking for our next partners
Schools, local businesses, and anyone who can host a donation box or help with a drive.
Get involved with Project Refill.
Volunteers power our food drives, help collect and sort donations, and connect us with new community partners. Let us know how you'd like to help.
“We started Project Refill because hunger should never be a barrier to opportunity. When students, farms, and neighbors show up together, hope travels faster than scarcity.”
