10:56 AM: Also happening today – the Kiwanis Club of West Seattle is back at their usual spot at the south end of the WS Farmers’ Market, today collecting nonperishable food for the West Seattle Food Bank. You can drop off donations at their booth at California/Alaska (by Easy Street Records) until 2 pm. Here’s a list of what they need most.

2:11 PM: We stopped by the booth while at the market and learned from Kiwanian Denis Sapiro that they’d received a ukulele serenade – above, he sent the pictorial proof. If you missed this chance to donate to the food bank, some local businesses – including nearby Fitness Together (upstairs at 4546 California SW; WSB sponsor) – are still collecting food donations (see the list in our Holiday Guide), and you can send a monetary contribution to the WSFB online.
