You can help! West Seattle Food Bank needs more books for kids

Doing some pre-holiday cleaning? Got children’s books that the kids in your family have outgrown? Consider taking them to the West Seattle Food Bank, which provided the photos and the request:

The West Seattle Food Bank’s Bookcase Program is in need of all kinds of gently used children’s books, especially board books. Our Bookcase Program has grown tremendously over the last year – we distributed over 12,000 adult and children books all through generous donations from our community. Our clients love the program; they can take up to 10 books home to keep. Donation hours are Monday – Friday 9 am – 3 pm and we are located at 3419 SW Morgan St. on the corner of 35th & Morgan. Enter through the garage on Morgan, come in, and we have volunteers that can help you with your donation. Thank you so much.

(You want to make somebody smile before the holiday, right?)

    Love this program and we will bring some more books this week. My daughter and I had fun shopping for kids books at the used book stores in the Junction to add to the ones we have at home.

    Is there an public/ open drop box that these could be left in somewhere?
    The last time we saw the call for books, we collected a bunch and carried them around in our car for a few days. But the hours didn’t work out for us being the work day. Ended up just donating with the rest of our stuff to goodwill.

Sorry, comment time is over.
