Help Feed Hungry Neighbors; Rainier Valley Food Bank Needs YOU!

HP_Farm_Stand_3-650x400Dear Friends,

My office – Windermere Real Estate Mount Baker – has just kicked-off an important food drive for the Rainier Valley Food Bank (RVFB), where 20,000 residents are served each month and donations tend to drop precipitously after the holidays.

When you donate to RVFB, your money goes primarily to the food budget. Their local, national and government partnerships and subsidies allow RVFB to buy more food with $1 than the average person can at the grocery store.

Can you help? Through the end of February, we’re collecting food or monetary donations at the Windermere Mount Baker office (4919 South Genesee Street) where you can drop donations off anytime between 8 am and 6 pm Monday through Friday. Or just give me a call (206-999-8159) and I’ll swing by your place to pick them up. I’m happy to do it; it’ll be a good excuse to visit!

In the meantime, here’s a quick list of items most in need at RVFB:

  • Rice & pasta
  • Canned soups
  • Canned vegetables
  • Canned fruits
  • Canned tomatoes
  • Diapers & infant formula
  • Canned chicken, SPAM & tuna
  • Soy or rice milk
  • Multicultural foods
  • Cold cereal
  • Gluten-free foods

Thank you for your support!
