At left, a sunny scene from last summer – Pete Spalding getting ready to drive the West Seattle Food Bank van in the WS American Legion Grand Parade. The Food Bank itself has a big event coming up before the next parade rolls around, and they could use a little more help – here’s what Pete (its board president) wants to share:

We are getting all of the final details worked out for our 3rd annual Instruments of Change fundraiser. It will be held at the Hall at Fauntleroy on Friday, April 30th. We are currently lining up table captains and sponsors. The response so far has been tremendous but we do need a few more table captains. Our prior two events have sold out and we would love for the third time to be a charm as well. In addition, we are still seeking sponsors for the event whether it be an individual or a business. Sponsorships range from $500 to $10,000. If anyone would like further information, they can contact Fran or Anna at the West Seattle Food Bank office.

Phone number and e-mail addresses can all be found on this page at the Food Bank website.
