Mayor Declares "Day Of Concern For The Hungry"

Mayor Law has joined with other Mayors throughout King County to declare September 24 the 19th Annual Mayor’s Day of Concern for the Hungry.

The food donated on this day will substantially reduce the growing crisis of hunger in our community, according to a press release from the City.
