Supporting Our Youth Feeding Programs

You might have noticed we’ve refreshed the name of our event to illuminate why we hold it every year and why your participation is so important. More than 1,800 children in the Issaquah School District who receive free or reduced-price school lunches don’t have access to these resources outside of school. Our Summer Lunch, Lunch for the Break, and Power Packs programs play a vital role in ensuring children have easy access to healthy food at all times.

The annual fireworks show has raised an amazing $290,000 since 2015 to support childhood nutrition in our community. Last year alone, everyone came together to help raise over $58,000, which provided breakfast, lunch, and snack foods for over 550 children for an entire month. With your help and our partnership with The Kritsonis & Lindor Team at Windermere Real Estate, hundreds of children will be ensured sufficient nutrition this year.
 
In these times of rising costs and reduced SNAP benefits, we need your help more than ever. Please join us as we raise funds to continue supporting our youngest citizens.

A gift of $150 can provide 21 children with breakfast, lunch, and snack foods for the weekend when school lunches aren’t available.

Double your impact!
The Kritsonis & Lindor Team will match donations of $150 or greater up to $20,000 in contributions.

Fireworks Show Details

Enjoy the show without having to stay up late during the week! Mark your calendars for:

Saturday, July 1 at 10:00 p.m.

The fireworks will be launched from a barge off the western shore of Lake Sammamish about halfway between Vasa Park and Lake Sammamish State Park. Any spot along the southern part of the lake should be a great viewing point!

Please join Kritsonis & Lindor and the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank to support fundraising efforts for our youth feeding programs, then celebrate with us from your favorite vantage point for the fireworks display on July 1.
