Thank you once again to everyone who donated food items to the families experiencing housing insecurity living at Hopelink Kenmore Place for Thanksgiving.

It is time for our end of year donations for these families. There are changes this year.

Food donations

As we look ahead to Christmas, we continue to evolve to best meet the needs of the families experiencing housing insecurity at Kenmore Place. We have received feedback from the staff and the families we serve about what works best for them. They benefit most from a gift card that they can use to buy food of their choosing for a holiday meal, instead of a food basket with pre-purchased items.

With this in mind, Church of the Redeemer will provide each of the 11 families with a $100 gift card for food. We are asking you to donate in what ever amount you are able to help us to meet the goal of raising $1100 total.

To donate, go to Giving on the Redeemer website, select the blue Give button, and, from the To list, select Hopelink Christmas Food. We need your donation of any amount of money by December 19, 2021.

Gift donations

Kenmore Place has asked us to provide a variety of gifts for different ages to residents throughout the year for various occasions. This could be when a new family move in, for birthdays, or other occasion. To subscribe for a gift, go to Hopelink Kenmore Place holiday donations.

Please leave all gifts unwrapped. Bring them to Church of the Redeemer on Sunday, December 19, to give to Michelle Henderson.

Partners with donations

People at Church of the Redeemer partner with people who attend Holy Apostles Greek Orthodox Church in Shoreline, Washington, in this holiday season project.

Questions about donations

If you have any questions about giving towards the food gift cards or buying gifts, please email Michelle Henderson at hkp@redeemer-kenmore.org.

Church of the Redeemer

Welcome to Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.

Church of the Redeemer is at 6210 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. We are a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.

The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
