HELPING: National Guard arrives in West Seattle

| Coronavirus | How to help | West Seattle news

When Gov. Inslee activated the National Guard in our state to help with the COVID-19 response, the plan was for members to help out at food banks. We checked with the West Seattle Food Bank at the time and they were not yet sure if anyone would be assigned – but on Monday, they arrived! The photos and update are from WSFB development director Judi Yazzolino:

Our 2 National Guardsmen started yesterday. We so needed them and so grateful. 2Lt. Akana and SSG Roberts.

You can help WSFB too – donate money and/or register for the May 9th virtual version of the “Instruments of Change” benefit!

To the LT & SSG,If these soldiers need to lunch or dinner while they are here in West Seattle, Mission Cantina will gladly provide them with lunch or dinner during their deployment to WS. As one of the owners of Mission and a 26 year retired 1SG we will stand with and support our troops. WSB please feel free to pass along or we are a sponsor of the WSB so you should have our contact information. Thanks,Shawn
