Issaquah Trophy & Awards has selected Heroes for the Homeless as the recipient for its Awards for a Cause program during the first quarter of 2013.
Since 2006, Heroes for the Homeless has served up to 700 individuals every month, providing food, water, hygiene supplies, clothing, tents, sleeping bags and information on how to access social services.
In addition to donations based on selected product purchases, Issaquah Trophy & Awards will host a “Sandwich Making Event” at 5 p.m., Friday Jan. 25 in its showroom, 1320 NW Mall St. At this event a team of volunteers will make 500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that will be delivered to Seattle early the next morning. Those interested in helping can email anne@issaquahtrophy.com.
Issaquah Trophy also will be collecting new, warm socks and travel-sized toothpaste, shampoo, soap and other toiletries. Donations can be dropped off at its showroom between 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday, through the end of March.
