Support needed for Teen Feed Program

The Kirkland Teen Union Building (KTUB), a youth development program run by Friends of Youth, is seeking meal donors and volunteers for its Teen Feed program, which provides meals for up to 100 young people every Friday night at 6 p.m.

KTUB’s all-volunteer Teen Feed program serves approximately 237 meals per month. An estimated 68 percent of those meals were served to the greater Kirkland residents aged 13–19, who often come from unstable and abusive situations.

For information, contact Amanda Hightower, outreach coordinator, at 425-653-4850, or e-mail Outreach@FriendsofYouth.org.

Adopt a family for Christmas

Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing (KITH) is asking community members to adopt local needy families by providing the fixings for a holiday meal, plus gifts for each household member.

Jan Dickerman, KITH executive director, said, “Our original goal was to provide for 70 families, but we have gotten so many requests this year that we need even more assistance from the public.”

For information about how to help, call KITH at 425-576-9531, ext. 101.
