The Bravern and Hopelink have teamed up to help End Summer Hunger. The grassroots campaign created by Hopelink aims to provide food for kids in North and East King County who normally receive free and reduced-fee breakfasts and lunches during the school year.

Ways to help End Summer Hunger 

1) Dontate Food:

Bring nonperishable food items to any of The Bravern’s Wild Summer Night Events and receive a complimentary Hopelink and/or Bravern tote. Return the following week with your bag full of nonperishable foods for free admission to Wild Summer Nights. The Bravern will donate 100 percent of the proceeds to Hopelink.

2) Facebook it!

Encourage your friends on Facebook to support Hopelink and this drive. Visit the Wild Summer Nights event posting HERE and invite friends.

3) Donate through Hopelink

Visit Hopelink’s website HERE to donate online or find other local events.
