Did you know that 2,540 children in the Issaquah School District receive free or reduced-price school lunches and that many of these children and more may need help accessing nutrition outside of school hours? Our Summer Lunch, Power Packs, and Lunch for the Break programs play a vital role in ensuring children have easy access to healthy food at all times.
Our annual Illuminating Hope fundraising campaign — capped off with a fireworks celebration — has raised more than $466,000 since 2015 to support childhood food security in our community. Last year alone, our community came together to help raise over $95,000. With your help and our partnership with The KLD Group at Windermere Real Estate, hundreds of children will be ensured sufficient nutrition every day of the year.
At this time when food costs are astronomical and food supports are continually being cut, we need your help more than ever. Help us reach our $110,000 goal by donating, then join us in celebration from the shore, from Vasa Park, or by boat for our amazing fireworks show over South Lake Sammamish on Friday, July 4th at 10:00 p.m.

Mark your calendars for:
Friday, July 4 at 10:00 p.m.
The fireworks will be launched from a barge off the western shore of Lake Sammamish about halfway between Vasa Park and Lake Sammamish State Park. Any spot along the southern part of the lake should be a great viewing point!
Vasa Park will be open for viewing with food, drinks, and lifeguards on duty.
Please join The KLD Real Estate Group and the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank to support fundraising efforts for our youth nutrition programs, then celebrate with us from your favorite vantage point for the fireworks display on July 4.
The KLD Real Estate Group at Windermere Real Estate has funded this event since 2015 to support the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank. In addition to funding equipment purchases and our youth feeding programs over the years, they have helped us expand our reach and have been committed advocates to our mission. Thank you to the KLD Team!
