help Stamp Out Hunger
ASTORIA — Join fellow
scrapbookers, cardmakers
and paper crafters in help-
ing the Clatsop Emergency
Food Bank during the fifth
annual Let’s Stamp Out
Hunger fundraiser, 9 a.m.
to 9 p.m. Saturday, April 7,
at the Astoria High School
Commons (1001 W Marine
Drive).
Spring is a slow time for
donations to food banks, so
this event aims to help fill
the gap. Anyone can drop
off cash, canned food, pet
food, pasta, rice, boxed
food or personal hygiene
items at the school. All
donations go to the food
bank.
Clatsop Emergency
Food Bank was started in
1975. In February 2016,
they served 186 households
for a total of 395 people.
This month, 48 volunteers
served 199.5 hours.
Astoria High School is
donating space for an all-
day crop for paper crafters
15 and older. Participants
can come any time during
the day. Entrance to the
event is $10 or 10 cans of
food or listed items (or any
combination) and includes
chances for door prizes,
free “make-n-takes” (of-
fered every hour from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m.) and lunch
provided by NW Natural.
Participants should plan
to bring their own projects
to work on, as well as the
tools and materials needed
to complete them. In addi-
tion to the door prizes (you
must be present to win),
there will be a raffle for
three grand prize packages
worth between $150 and
$250. Tickets for the raffle
are $5 each or three for
$10. You do not have to be
present to win.
To donate, send your
tax-deductible check pay-
