One of the spring’s biggest benefits is just weeks away, and you can participate in one (or more!) of three ways. From the West Seattle Food Bank:

The Board and Staff of the West Seattle Food Bank would like to invite you to join us at our 8th Annual Instruments of Change Dinner/Auction, Friday evening, May 1st, at our new location at The Seattle Design Center beginning at the new time of 6:00 pm. This very fun event will feature a hosted Happy Hour with games, Liquor Tasting, Photo Booth and unique items in our Silent Auction. Guests will then enjoy dinner prepared by Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes Catering, with our famous Dessert Dash, a special guest speaker, live auction, and Funds for Food.

The West Seattle Food Bank plays an important role in the future of our West Seattle community. Funds will be used to support the various programs we provide to our neighbors in need such as our:

· Food Distribution where we distribute 1.5 million pounds of food yearly through 38,000 visits from 9,200 individuals including 3,400 children and 1,200 seniors three times per week with the help of over 260 volunteers.

· Home Delivery Program where we deliver 170 grocery bags of food weekly to homebound elderly and disabled.

· Backpack Program where we provide nutritious & healthy food to school children at risk of hunger over the weekend.

· Baby & Child Corner where we help baby & toddler parents with diapers, formula, car seats, strollers toys & clothes through our partner WestSide Baby.

· Bookcase Program where we have distributed over 9000 books including children’s books, cookbooks, reference, fiction and non-fiction books.

This fundraising event will bring our neighbors together to support the Food Bank and ensure our continued role as a positive Instrument of Change in our community.
