Students at Evergreen Academy Preschool in Bothell collected more than 1,000 toiletry items to benefit local nonprofit organization Hopelink.

Throughout the month of January, students and their families collected toothpaste, toilet paper, shampoo, laundry detergent and more. Following the drive, students helped fill Hopelink’s van with the donations for delivery to those in need.

Hopelink serves homeless and low-income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities in north and east King County, providing stability and helping people gain the skills and knowledge they need to exit poverty for good.
