Happening now: White Center Food Bank turkey drive

| How to help | West Seattle news | White Center

Till 7 pm, White Center Food Bank‘s turkey drive continues – frozen turkeys, chickens, other kinds of holiday food; WC Food Bank executive director Rick Jump told us when we dropped by a while ago that they had about 150 turkeys but need 700. They also need cereal, cake mix, crackers, cookies, among other types of “trimmings” (longer list in our original announcement). The White Center Food Bank – which serves southern West Seattle as well as WC and environs – is at 10829 8th SW (map). If you can’t make it to WC, the West Seattle Food Bank at 35th/Morgan is accepting turkeys today too, 4-5 pm.

The best deal I found was at QFC which will sell a 16+ pound bird for 39 cents/pound if you buy $25/groceries. 1 per transaction. It isn’t too hard to pass $25 in groceries. The one in the Junction had more birds than the one in Westwood village. The WC food bank had people waiting for the birds I dropped off.

We just received our 300th turkey of the day – thank you everyone! We will be here until 7pm for anyone that would still like to donate. Many, many thanks to all.

Happening RIGHT now, something like a fire in the 6700 block of 35th SW. Four fire engines. Lots of smoke.

Yes, we checked it out, saw the call about one minute after SFD dispatched. Call canceled quickly. Story elsewhere on the site. Thanks!

Sorry, comment time is over.
