We have again been overwhelmed by the generous donations to the Lynnwood Food Bank collected by the Timberline Park neighborhood from visitors to their spectacular Brier Lights Christmas Wonderland (see www.brierlights.org for details and their sponsors). This has been a regular event for 11 years and it has blessed the visitors, planners, and residents as well as the Lynnwood Food Bank and their appreciative clients. Visitors enjoyed Holiday music, candy canes, and dog biscuits while they marveled at the spectacular decorations at each house.
The lights were on and they were open every evening from November 24 through December 31. This year they collected and donated $21,244 and more than 8,800 pounds of food! This means they have donated over $196,000 since 1996!
Thank You to Tom and Gwendine Norton and all their neighbors, Ken Emerick, Mitch Allen, the hundreds of visitors, and the Food Bank volunteers and Boy Scouts and the Lynnwood Rotarians who helped man the booth some of the evenings.
