Volunteers needed! Hope Festival 2019 – March 16
Hopefest is an entirely youth-run annual event that serves those experiencing poverty and homelessness across King County. Each year, Hopefest provides 1,000 in-need guests with free groceries, clothes, hygiene items, books, and free services such as haircuts, massages, dental care, entertainment, and much more. Guest’s connections made with local agencies and community organizations at the event will last far beyond the single-day event. Each year, clients walk away from this powerful day of giving with a reaffirmed belief that they are cared for by a compassionate community.
Hopefest is planned and executed by local high school students with the help of 300 volunteers, and through partnerships with local businesses and organizations. This year, Hopefest will be on March 16th, at the Bellevue Highland Community Center. Guests will be served from 3-7pm.

Hopefest is looking to partner with service providers who could possibly offer free flu shots, free BP checks, HIV and Hep C screenings, and/or similar services to some of our guests at Hopefest 2019. Contact Tyler Zangaglia: tylerzang@outlook.com
