Congratulations to all the companies that participated as we together raised over 8,000 lbs of food in 4 weeks.

Redmond Physical Therapy Hopelink food donation total: 3000 lbs as of: 3/27/10 Starting back during Thanksgiving 2008 RPT began allowing patients to bring in 4 cans of food in lieu of paying the no show / cancellation fee. Redmond Physical Therapy took this positive step for the community as there are serious challenges facing the local community and region. The request for food is up over 70%. If you choose to make your appointments and show up as scheduled you can still donate to our food drive. You need only to bring a non-perishable food item and give it to our front office. Thanks for all your generosity and for helping eastside families in crisis.
