The Renton Highlands Safeway grocery store challenges the community to make a difference for families in need this holiday season.

The store is selling bags of nonperishable holiday food to customers who then can donate the items to the Renton Salvation Army.The store has sold 925 bags as of Tuesday night. Employees have a goal to sell an additional 300 bags in one day on Saturday.

“Normally we sell anywhere from 30 to 40 bags per day, but our store manager, Lee Trutman, decided to make a challenge out of it and sell 300 in one day, which is a lot,” said Brandon Fletcher, assistant store manager.

The bags contain items like stuffing mix, cans of cranberries, green beans and corn. There is also macaroni and cheese and rice. They sell for $10.

The annual effort is part of Safeway’s work with the Northwest Harvest Association, where stores donate to food banks in their communities.The Highlands Safeway is located at 4300 NE Fourth St., Renton.For more information, call 425-226-9379.
