Cedar Grove Composting Partners with the Maple Valley Food Bank to Make a Difference for Local Families

Cedar Grove Composting is partnering with the Maple Valley Food Bank this summer to support its back-to-school drive and fill the backpacks of local kids and the pantries of families living in Black Diamond, Covington, Hobart, Ravensdale, Maple Valley and within the boundaries of the Tahoma School District.

In the Tahoma School District, 15 percent of students qualify for free or reduced lunches.  The district has seen a slow but steady increase over the past few years in the number of students who qualify.

There are two ways to get involved and make a difference:

• At National Night Out in the Glacier Valley community park on August 2, people can bring a can of food or back-to-school supply for the Maple Valley Food Bank and receive a FREE bag of Cedar Grove Compost!  (This will be limited to the first 100 donors.)  Festivities begin at 6:30 p.m.!
• You can stop by Cedar Grove’s Maple Valley location  and bring a back-to-school item between now and August 24 will receive 15% bagged or bulk compost and 33% off kitchen collection kits.

We hope you’ll consider joining us in the fight against hunger in our community.  Thank you!
