Lynden Christian donates to Project Hope

Elaina Rast, an eighth grade student at Lynden Christian School, organizes food donated to the school’s Christmas food drive. Lynden Christian collected 4,600 pounds of food which the school donated to Project Hope Food Bank in Lynden. “What an amazing amount of food, and what a tremendous blessing to so many in our community,” wrote David Edenfield, Food Bank director, in a Dec. 19 letter to Lynden Christian Schools. “We are grateful for your generosity, it is helping to make a major difference in not only the lives, but hearts, of those who visit us here.” According to Edenfield, Project Hope Food Bank of Lynden “has been part of this broader community for approximately 60 years, helping to ensure that none of our neighbors go hungry.” Project Hope serves each week an average of 150 families representing approximately 500 individuals.
