Washington Rock invites you to join us in supporting the community by donating non-perishable food to our Second Annual Food Drive.
Founded and hosted by our King Creek Pit scale house operator, Dustie Northey, the friendly competition between haulers is a fun and easy way to make a real difference for families and rescues in need. The person who contributes the largest volume of food/donations by weight will receive bragging rights, free merch, and a spotlight on our website and social media.
What: Non-perishable food items (canned goods, dry pasta, cereal, peanut butter, etc.) as well as pet food and blankets
When: Now until November 24, 2026
Where: Drop off donations at Washington Rock’s King Creek Pit and Kapowsin Quarry scale house from 6 AM to 4 PM on weekdays
Who: All human food donations will be heading to the Eatonville Family Agency, while all pet food donations will be heading to Gurrs and Purrs Rescue in Yelm.
The entire community wins when we work together. We encourage you to round up your teams and family to help us meet our goal of 200 LBS of food!
