As of Monday, the campaign to end weekend hunger in the Lake Washington School District had collected $3,037 in recurring donations, according to the campaign website.

About 300 new donors have signed on to make monthly contributions toward the volunteer-led Pantry Packs food-assistance program, which provided more than 450 students last year with sacks of food every Friday.

The campaign aims to raise $10,000 in recurring funds in order to meet the growing need of hungry students within the district.

The campaign has also raised $8,597 in one-time donations.

During a 10-day social media campaign, which ended Monday, organizers used #solvestudenthunger on various social media sites promoting the fundraiser.

“We’re having great success with the campaign,” Feed Washington President Eirik Olsen said in an email last week.

Feed Washington is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending hunger throughout the state.

It teamed up with Pantry Packs and the Eastside food bank Hopelink about a year and a half ago to bring the recurring donation model and 21st century campaign to Lake Washington schools.

So far, the recurring donations raised during the last week will cover costs to feed roughly 137 students.

As part of the campaign, the nonprofits released a video Oct. 2 featuring 32 Lake Washington School District students from  Eastlake, Juanita, Lake Washington and Redmond high schools.

The goal of campaign organizers was to see the video accompany the #solvestudenthunger on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts the last day of the campaign.

The video “appeals to the sense of helping somebody who is pretty much just like you and living in your neighborhood,” said Janice Wilson Vache, a member of the Pantry Packs volunteer leadership team and a Feed Washington board member.
