White Center Food Bank update: Thanks, and keep it coming

| How to help | West Seattle news

Two days after we brought you the urgent call for help from White Center Food Bank, which also serves southern West Seattle, we stopped by for an update; you can see that report here – executive director Rick Jump says thanks to those who have stepped up, and shared new numbers showing how the help is needed more than ever. (And if you missed it, we also checked with West Seattle Food Bank and published an update on their current needs earlier this morning. Both food banks now accept online $ donations – just click their names in this post to go to their websites. One more way you can help – the WCFB annual fundraising auction/dinner is coming up October 18th, 5:30 pm at South Seattle Community College‘s Brockey Center; this event raises up to half the WCFB’s annual budget funds – check out the invitation here and RSVP by October 10th.)

I noticed that WCFB has their online donations set up through Network for Good, which allows you to make regular periodic donations as well as one-time donations. I set mine up to give them $10 every month. Considering that I don’t subscribe to magazines anymore since becoming a librarian, this seems like a better use of that money.

That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing the discovery! – TR

And thanks, too, to the mom from our pre-school group that gathered donations of both food and money for WCFB. Her initiative helped us all give extra assistance when needed.

Sorry, comment time is over.
