Bridgeport Place a food drop-off location

Ben Sclair | October 30, 2012

The holiday season is fast approaching. Needy families in University Place rely on the generosity of community members to make sure they have something on their tables for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Bridgeport Place is the one and only designated drop-off location for donations of non-perishable food items. A donation bin is located in the lobby near the elevator. The Lions Club welcomes donations by check or cash so that they can purchase food items in bulk at the best prices.

Donations for the Thanksgiving baskets need to be received by November 17. The University Place Lions club calls Bridgeport Place ‘home’ and holds their twice monthly meetings in the Parkside Lounge.

Bridgeport Place is located at 5250 Bridgeport Way West, in University Place. Donations can be dropped off from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week from now through November 17. If you would like to receive a complete list of suggested food items, please call Jaynie Jones at 253.565.1960 or e-mail your request to bridgeportmarket@comcast.net and a list will be mailed to you or sent back to you via e-mail.

The Lions thank you for supporting their community outreach efforts in University Place and making this possible.
