Thriftway team thrilled by turnout for benefit barbecue

Just got word from West Seattle Thriftway in Morgan Junction that today’s barbecue lunch to raise money for employee Julie Lynch and her family raised $3,000! That includes donations as well as food sales. Julie is fighting breast cancer and her co-workers wanted to do something to help make sure she could focus more on recovery and less on finances. They’re thankful for everybody who chipped in.

    Just got back from Thriftway, and was thrilled to find out how much was raised. The clerk at Customer Service said people were still dropping off donations.

    As I mentioned on the original thread regarding Julie, I had to work today, so knew I’d miss the BBQ. I was able to donate at the Customer Service desk as early as last Sunday, so I’m sure they’ll continue to take donations there.

    The Burgers were great – always are when they cook em up! Glad we could help contribute in a small way. Good job WS Thriftway and the community.

    Thank you to all who came out to show their support at the BBQ. I would not have been able go through this process without all of the kindness that I have received from my fellow employees, as well as the community. I am so grateful to have so many wonderful people in my life. Thank you!

    A special thanks to Paul and Connie Kapioski, owners of the West Seattle Thriftway, for making the BBQ possible! Also, a huge Thank you to Ted, Brian, Steve, and my whole Thriftway family for all you did to help with the event! I am overwhelmed by all of your support!
