NO ISLANDER GOES HUNGRY
5% of Mercer Islanders live below the poverty line, even in the best of times, and usage of Mercer Island Youth and Family Services (MIYFS) food assistance is 2X pre-pandemic, pre-inflation levels.
That is why the MIYFS Foundation, the Mercer Island Farmers Market, the Mercer Island Community Fund, and Mercer Island Rotary, have joined together to create N.I.G.H., a program help raise AWARENESS and FUNDS for Mercer Island Youth and Family Services Food Assistance, which now operate through grocery gift cards.
