While many look forward to bountiful feasts during the holiday season, too many families in Whatcom County are just wondering what they will do for their next meal.
SSK Insurance’s sixth-annual turkey drive seeks to help more than 200 local families this holiday season. With offices in Lynden and Bellingham, SSK Insurance is matching from Oct. 16 through Dec. 11 contributions of $15 for each turkey that a person or business wishes to donate, up to the first 100 turkeys. Donors will receive recognition on SSK Insurance’s website and Facebook page.
The turkeys will be distributed to families in need by Bellingham Food Bank and Lynden-based Project Hope Food Bank.
“The Bellingham Food Bank is one of the busiest in Western Washington with visits from more than 1,350 families each week,” said Paul Kenner of SSK Insurance. “The need also is high in north Whatcom County, where Project Hope Food Bank assists many north-county families. Our turkey drive helps both of these food banks make the holiday season a little better for some hungry families.”
An independent agency with origins dating back to 1925, SSK Insurance has offices at 501 Front St. in Lynden and 2115 Barkley Blvd., Suite 201, in Bellingham. Donations may be delivered or mailed to either office. For more information, call 360-354-4488 or visit www.sskinsurance.com.
