Thanks to Judi Yazzolino from the West Seattle Food Bank for the photo and report on its big event last weekend:

The West Seattle Food Bank has honored Nucor Steel for being such a strong partner in helping end hunger in our community for so many years: On Saturday, May 14th, the West Seattle Food Bank held their biggest fundraiser of the year, the 9th Annual Instruments of Change, at the Seattle Design Center.

The first Instrument of Change Award was presented to Nucor and their employees, who since 2003 have raised more than $200,000 for the food bank through their holiday funds and food drive. An integral part of Nucor’s culture is working with the community. Giving back is their nature. Walter Reese, Controller of Nucor was present to accept the award.

The West Seattle Food Bank would like to thank their sponsors, donors, and guests for supporting and helping to raise $131,200! This will allow them to continue to provide nutritious and healthy food, baby supplies, pet food and books to all of our neighbors in need.
