Zoe is one of our youngest and most talented volunteers at Annie’s Kitchen! Originally from Idaho, 11-year old Zoe is here with her grandpa Wayne and grandma Laverne for the summer. Zoe says she has alot of experience cooking and baking from home and it sure shows! She can slice and dice as fast as anybody in the kitchen! Thanks so much, Zoe for all you do!

Thanks to the Hazel Miller Foundation, a good chunk of Annie’s Kitchen electricity bill has been relieved. The local foundation recently gave Annie’s Kitchen a grant for $10,000.00 towards the purchase and installation of solar panels on the roof of Edmonds Lutheran Church. It’s making a big difference in the bills and it’s also a sends a great message to the community of Edmonds about renewable energy options.

The Hazel Miller Foundation, established as a trust by Mrs. Miller, is dedicated to serving the citizens of Edmonds and South Snohomish County, Washington. Hazel and her husband, Morris Miller, were commited members of the Edmonds’ community.

The Foundation’s mission is to support programs and projects that serve the public’s benefit, especially in the areas of education and youth services, poverty alleviation and hunger, civic and community services and amenities, the environment, and culture and the arts.

Deepest Gratitude to everyone on the Board at the Hazel Miller Foundation!!!

The Department of Social and Health Services’ Mobile Community Services Office will be at Edmonds Lutheran Church on Wednesday, Feb. 24, from 3-6:30 pm.

The 40-foot truck includes a reception area, interview stations, a sun shade for protection from the elements or extra space, and a mechanical lift as an option for access instead of the stairs.

Those visiting the mobile office are invited to enjoy dinner at Annie’s Community Kitchen and then sit with DSHS personal and determine if you qualify for medical, food and cash assistance. You can also drop off paperwork, complete an Eligibility Review, Mid-Certification Review or make changes to an existing case.

Thank you so much to Lexus of Seattle in Edmonds for giving the gleaning van a complete tune-up and for installing new parts, all at no cost. The van drives like new!  THANK YOU!

We are the missionaries from The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, or, the Mormon church. We walk around with our little name tags looking to come across someone who would like to hear our message, but we also love service! We love to show up and help in the community as much as possible, and I guess a few years back, a couple of missionaries ran into Bob, where they quickly learned about Annies Kitchen! They soon showed up to help and even with new missionaries coming in and replacing the last, we have passed down the word and showed up as much as possible ever since! We have all been able to learn so much from working alongside these wonderful people who obviously love their fellow family and friends in their community. They have taught us everything from what a papaya is, to how to make an apple salad! It’s been awesome! It is such a blessing to have a hand in helping the people of Annies Kitchen work in this wonderful, charitable act towards all those in need. We look forward to coming every week and don’t plan on stopping any time soon!

Thanks so much to our latest partner, Chick fil A for providing our diners with delicious chicken, biscuits and salads! Yum Yum!

Annie’s Kitchen partnered again this holiday season with West Lynnwood QFC to hosts two giving trees; one in the narthex of Edmonds Lutheran Church and another one in QFC’s floral department. The effort was amazingly successful again this year. Were able to serve more than 25 children, who each received two toys that they specifically wished for.

We were also able to host for the third year running, “Santas Workshop” where nearly 20 kids came and were able to pick out nice gifts for friends and family, wrap them and have them all ready to put under the tree.

Thanks so much to Marilyn, Thea and everyone that brightened the lives of so many this Christmas Season!

Thank you so much to our beloved Betty Vandenberg for making and packaging 70 pounds of the most delicious fudge. These packages were wrapped in 1 pound portions to deliver to our many supporters who provide us with the food and other resources we need for Wednesday evening’s meal.

Bless you Betty!

Around 100 photos were taken and distributed between the two events and smiles brought to more than 100 faces. It was a great outreach and community networking effort. Thanks so much to everyone that made these two events so much fun and successful!
