[ARCHIVED]The Lee Johnson Auto Family has wrapped up another successful year for the Evergreen State Fair Food Drive
Originally Published July 2026 The Lee Johnson Auto Family has wrapped up another successful year for the Evergreen State Fair Food Drive, and the results are nothing short of inspiring! With the support of our generous community members and customers, the Snohomish County Food Bank Coalition collected a significant amount of non-perishable food, all of which will go to support local food banks and families in need. This year’s food drive exceeded expectations, with an impressive number of non-perishables donated and thousands of free tickets distributed. The outpouring of support highlights the strong spirit of community that defines Kirkland and is imbedded in the fabric of the LJ Way! Every item donated translates into meals for families facing food insecurity – an especially meaningful contribution during the summer months when demand at food banks often increases, and supply often runs low. The Lee Johnson Auto Family would like to express our gratitude to everyone who contributed and emphasize how proud we are to be part of a community that comes together to support one another. Our partnerships with the Evergreen State Fair and the Snohomish County Food Bank Coalition serve as a powerful example of how local businesses can get involved and make a difference. As the Evergreen State Fair draws closer, excitement is building for what promises to be a fun-filled celebration of agriculture, entertainment, and community spirit. From thrilling rides and delicious fair food to exhibits and live performances, the fair is set to be a highlight of the summer – and now, thanks to the success of the food drive, it’s also a reminder of what we can accomplish when we work together. See you at the Fair! August 27 – September 1 & September 3 – September 7
