Eastside Fire & Rescue "Fill The Truck" Food Drive, Friday, November 23rd - Sunday, November 25th
Each year, Eastside Fire & Rescue holds a massive food drive in front of the Issaquah Fred Meyer over the Thanksgiving weekend. Firefighters literally fill a moving truck with food, toiletries, and cold weather gear collected for local families in need. Fill the Truck traditionally brings in about 50,000 lbs. of donations. Sorting crews are needed the week after Thanksgiving. This is a great volunteer project for corporate groups and larger teams.
