Hope Festival teens are at it again.

They’ve delivered more than 40 dozen doughnuts to those in need — doughnuts that would have otherwise gone to waste. And in a weekend they collected more than 10 bags of garbage along a 2.5-mile stretch of a Sammamish roadway.

Hope Festival Director and Eastlake sophomore Tyler Zangaglia, along with other Hope Festival teen volunteers, created the initiative “Hope in Motion.” It’s goal is to give youth an opportunity to connect with those in need year round through volunteerism and community service.

“Hope in Motion” plays off the Hope Festival’s goal of helping others through service.

The Hope Festival, organized by Eastlake High School students in Sammamish, last served about 1,500 low-income individuals and families at the invitation-only 2016 event hosted at the Bellevue Highlands Community Center. More than half of those attending the event were children.

Those Eastside residents in need had the opportunity to take their pick of thousands of donated essentials during the festival. There were also service booths, manned by organizations like Hopelink, LifeWire and the Issaquah Food Bank.

“The impact this has had has been so cool to see,” Zangaglia told the Sammamish City Council Tuesday.

As a way to continue giving back to the community, Hope Festival volunteers snagged a stretch of Issaquah-Pine Lake Road, from 228th Southeast Avenue to Southeast Issaquah-Fall City Road, for cleanup. This is through the city of Sammamish’s Adopt-A-Road program.

Volunteers collected 12 bags of garbage along both sides of the road April 23.

They’ve also recently partnered with Krispy Kreme in Issaquah.

“They just called us up when they have a lot of extra doughnuts,” he said. “It ranges anywhere from a few dozen to a few hundred.”

The volunteers have delivered doughnuts to Tent City 4, Camp Unity in Woodinville and the Issaquah Food Bank in the past couple of weeks.

“We’ve delivered over 500 doughnuts that would have just gotten thrown out,” he said. “And they absolutely love them.”
