NEED FOOD? Donated meals available today at KBM Seattle

Again this week, KBM Seattle and some of its chefs are making free meals available to anyone in need. Keith Mathewson sent the update for this afternoon/evening:

This week’s donation is headed up by The Roll Pod Indian Food Trucks and Bellevue restaurant. The menu is curried chicken with vegetables and spiced rice. Meals will be handed out between 4 pm and 6 pm Saturday.

By (tonight) the members of the kitchen will have made and donated over 4,500 meals. It appears that the number of people coming for meals is dropping from a high of 1200 meals per donation to between 500 to 600; however, the people who do come appear to be in greater need. The line now begins about one hour before we open. I am assuming that some people have been able to return to work but for the ones who haven’t, things are getting worse. We intend to continue for as long as I can finance the program; our costs are about $1.50 to $2/person. If you are not impacted and wish to help, I would like to encourage you to consider donating to the fund, no matter the amount.

Anyone who is impacted is welcome to come; no questions will be asked.

KBM is at 5604 Delridge Way SW. And a reminder, some of the KBM-based businesses are also selling from a streetfront window, listed on our ongoing West Seattle list.

    I think of an wise saying when I read this. An Jewish proverb.Proverbs 11:25, A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

    Thank you for doing this! My family is continuing to feel the impact and we’re so grateful for your generosity. It’s the only complete meal we’ve all been able to eat once a week. Thank you all!

    so grateful to all the providers of meals over the past few weeks so people in our community can receive good food if they are in need. it’s helping me to focus on the positives in what feels like a constant barrage of negatives lately.

Sorry, comment time is over.
