The program’s eighth year proved to be the most successful year yet, bringing in 148,159 items or 12,347 pounds across Washington and northern Idaho.

AAA Redmond collected 3,816 items benefiting the YWCA Family Village Redmond.

“The generosity of our members, local businesses and community partners has made the 2015 Soap for Hope campaign record setting,” said Jennifer Cook, AAA Washington spokesperson. “Our stores love delivering the donations to our charity partners because they are always so grateful for these much needed donations.”
