Fishline Celebrates November’s Community Partner: Albertsons in Poulsbo

News

This month’s community partner is Albertsons grocery store.  Last year, Albertsons donated 102,780 pounds of produce, dairy, baked goods and meat for Fishline’s front market and monthly E-boxes.  This year, they have already donated 104,523 pounds!

During the holidays, this longtime supporter is an integral part of the Fishline community, helping with various much needed items.  They also donated two buggies for our new and improved front market.  In the summers, Albertsons allow us to utilize the parking area to stage our “Donation Station” — where we collect donations of food for Fishline, as well as clothing and household items for Second Season.  Throughout the year, and especially through the holidays, they show their support by permitting several civic groups to gather food donations outside their doors.  


The Albertsons staff is always friendly and helpful when we pick up grocery rescue items.  They are always accommodating when it comes to our needs.  We are so appreciative of their continued generosity!

Today the North Kitsap Senior Citizen Center donated a van to the North Kitsap Fishline Food and Emergency Services Organization for their use to collect food and items for the community.   The Senior Citizen Center is located on Front Street in downtown Poulsbo, and is operated entirely by volunteers.  The center is supported through memberships and donations.  We are thrilled to be the recipients of such a wonderful gift.
