The food bank at Mercer Island Youth and Family Services is very low on food.

They need contributions such as peanut butter and jelly, Top Ramen, boxed cereal, canned chicken or tuna, white and brown rice, hearty soups, Rice-a-Roni and mac and cheese products.

Items to be donated can be taken to the MIYFS office in Luther Burbank Park, Banner Bank on 78th Avenue S.E., the Community Center, Albertsons and the Mercer Island Thrift Shop.
