April 28, 2026. Donna of Don’s Daughter’s Donna’s Barber Shop is seeking generous donors to help raise funds to purchase grocery gift cards for underserved families with children attending Lawton, Magnolia, and Blaine schools, all located in the Magnolia neighborhood. The Summer Break Community Pantry is a joint philanthropic effort by Donna’s barbershop and the Magnolia Community Support Group.
Since November 2025, Donna’s philanthropic leadership, in partnership with other caring Magnolians, has generated over $3,000 to purchase grocery and Visa gift cards for under-resourced families. The new drive to raise funds recognizes that many families need support and a lending hand during the “school break” months of June, July, and August. These families will no longer have access to the free breakfasts and lunch programs provided by Seattle Public Schools’ Student Meal Program. Donna and others want to ensure the summer break does not result in the loss of access to healthy meals for so many families attending our local elementary schools.
Donna shares that you can drop off your donations at Don’s Daughter, Donna Barber Shop, located at 2814 Thorndyke Ave W, Seattle, WA 98199. Or you can donate through their GoFundMe page. Please join Donna, the Magnolia Community Support Group, and caring donors to help families in need with groceries this summer.
