Hazel Miller Foundation Donates to E-W Cheer Squad and Sports Teams

The Hazel Miller Foundation has approved grants for youth and youth services to Edmonds Woodway High School, Christmas House and Clothes for Kids, as well as major improvements for the Carol Rowe Memorial Food Bank in Edmonds and the Concern for Neighbors Food Bank in Mountlake Terrace.

Edmonds Woodway High School has received $7,127 for cheer squad and sports team equipment, including tumbling mats, which will allow the cheer squad to perform stunts. The money will also be used for a mascot uniform and a break-away banner that can be reused for sporting events.

Christmas House, a repeat recipient, has received $5,000 for the purchase of new toys and clothing to stock its annual Christmas store, a resource for low-income Snohomish County families to provide gifts for their children during the holidays.

Clothes for Kids, another repeat recipient, received $10,000 for its Greatest Needs program. It will provide children in low-income families the opportunity to shop for new school clothing for free at a special all-donated store promoting healthy self-image as an antidote to the social effects of poverty.

Carol Rowe Memorial Food Bank, also known as Edmonds Food Bank, received $20,300 to replace its walk-in cooler, which will enable them to store fresh fruits, meat, dairy, and vegetables for distribution on a regular basis. This new cooler will also enable them to receive a greater amount of these kinds of donations from local farms and businesses.

Concern for Neighbors Food Bank in Mountlake Terrace received $16,000 for the purchase of a new box truck with a lift gate.

The Hazel Miller Foundation serves Edmonds and south Snohomish County through programs and projects that serve the public's benefit, especially in the areas of education and youth services, hunger and poverty alleviation, civic and community services and amenities, the environment, and culture and the arts.

Hazel Miller and her husband, Morris Miller, were committed members Edmonds.
