Drivers and shoppers began dropping off items early Nov. 19 for what has become the annual food drive in honor of Bothell youngster Brenden Foster.

Only 11, Brenden lost a fight with leukemia in 2008, but spent his last days promoting help for the hungry.

The drive runs until 7 p.m. Nov. 19 at two Fred Meyer locations, including the Bothell Fred Meyer on Bothell-Everett Highway. The other location is at 6100 Eastlake Sammamish Parkway S.E. in Issaquah.

The drives benefit Food Lifeline.
