The Kingston office of American Marine Bank challenged its new next door neighbors, Windermere Real Estate, to raise the most food supplies to benefit the Kingston Food Bank and ShareNet.

The AMB office rallied the troops not only at the Kingston office but at all the banking locations across Kitsap County and at the local grocery stores soliciting donations. In the end the AMB alone collected over 2,300 items and Windermere added to the bounty. All proceeds were split between the two food banks.
