Bellevue LifeSpring’s Holiday Adopt-A-Family program allows caring individuals, concerned families, and community groups to personally make a difference for a struggling family during Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. The Adopt-A-Family program is a matching program. Members of the community sponsor struggling families that best meet their ability to give.
Heritage Bank is accepting all Non Perishable foods at their Bellevue branch located at 520 – 112th Ave NE Ste 160. Thank you for your consideration.
Thanksgiving Shopping
Sponsors will provide:
• Non-perishable food for the holiday meal and the long weekend

The Thanksgiving holiday is followed by a long weekend. We hope to provide a celebratory meal for the families we adopt as well as food items for lunches and treats during the extended weekend.
Holiday Meal Ideas:
• Rice, dry or canned beans, pasta
• Flour, sugar, cooking oil, stuffing and gravy mixes
• Canned vegetables (corn, green beans, sweet potatoes, etc.)
• Canned fruit (pineapple, peaches, pears, cranberry sauce, etc.)
• Herbs and spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, garlic, poultry seasoning, etc.)
