What: Food Lifeline
About:
Food Lifeline is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending hunger in Western Washington. Food Lifeline makes every penny count. 90% of the food we receive from local, state and national contributors is donated, allowing us to provide nine dollars worth of food to hungry people for every donated dollar.
Working to End Hunger
Last year, Food Lifeline secured 21 million pounds of food – the equivalent of 17 million meals – to feed hungry families and individuals throughout Western Washington. Food Lifeline provides food to 600,00 people through our network of 300 emergency feeding programs including food banks, hot meal programs and shelters.
Innovative Solutions
Food Lifeline provides a creative link between food sources and hungry people. By encouraging the food industry to donate unmarketable but usable food it would otherwise discard. In this role, Food Lifeline rescues millions of pounds of food each year. Locally, restaurants and caterers contribute prepared food through Food Lifeline’s innovative Seattle’s Table program, and fresh produce is collected from produce wholesalers and retailers through our creative Produce for the People program. Local grocery retailers donate a variety of nutritious products from meat, dairy, fresh produce and baked goods through Food Lifeline’s effective Grocery Rescue program.
I believe it’s in SHORELINE. It is next weekend, so let your parents know about this and we encourage you all to come and help out! I’m thinking that we should meet at church BY 8:15am and leave the church at 8:30am. Remember, early is on time and on time is late.
Have a blessed week!
