The Interfaith Ministries of Greater Queen Anne — in collaboration with Queen Anne Lutheran Church, Magnolia Lutheran Church, First Free Methodist Church, the Church of Scientology and Ingallina’s Box Lunch — held a successful drive to collect backpacks and school supplies for local students and Mary’s Place, which provides shelter and resources to homeless women and children.
Sixteen children in ZIP codes 98109 and 98119 received backpacks filled with supplies for their grade, as did 20 children at the Mary’s Place overnight shelter.
Twenty-six backpacks — 60 percent of which were filled with supplies — and four large boxes of loose supplies went to Mary’s Place emergency shelter and day center.
