Students from Lake Washington High School (LWHS) collected two truckloads of food for families assisted by Redmond-based Hopelink on the Eastside for the holiday season and beyond.

In addition, the school’s Loyalty Club raised $4,000. At the beginning of November, club members organized shifts at local markets to solicit contributions from the community in their goal of beating last year’s record of 12,000 pounds of food and household items they collected.

While Hopelink doesn’t weigh everything immediately, Loyalty Club advisers and LWHS teachers Lindsay Roger and Nicole Massey believe that they’ll make their goal.
