Thank You Sandstone Distillery!
Sandstone Distillery in Tenino, WA is producing hand sanitizer for first responders and medical professionals. The City of Mercer Island was able to obtain a gallon of hand sanitizer for just $20 when hand sanitizer couldn’t be found. Thank you, Sandstone Distillery, for supporting the City of Mercer Island during this critical time of need!

Thank you Joanna Henaghan!
This Mercer Island *angel* has been organizing neighbors to donate food every week to first responders at Harborview to ensure they are well nourished during these most trying times. She even provides containers and tin foil, picks up the food from you, and does the deliveries! What an inspiration - we're so lucky to have someone like Joanna in our midst.

MIHS Marching Band Raises Almost $3,000 for MI Food Pantry!
Thanks to the MIHS Marching Band, the Mercer Island Food Pantry received a needed and much-appreciated boost in funds! Every spring, the MIHS Marching Band hosts a food drive to help fill MI Food Pantry shelves. In the past, the students have collected nearly 7 tons of food. This annual food drive helps get the Food Pantry through the traditionally lean summer months. This year, due to the pandemic, the Food Pantry had to change the way it operates for safety purposes, and transitioned from food donations to grocery gift cards. Even with this change, Marching Band students didn't miss a beat. They redirected their annual food drive to a fundraising campaign and raised almost $3,000 in donations. The Food Pantry has seen a 50% increase in requests for food assistance since the beginning of the pandemic. Thank you MIHS Marching Band for generously helping the community!
