Food bank donations (Ballard)

Do you have food to give? I volunteer at the Ballard food bank twice a week. Since EBT (food stamp) emergency benefits have been cut, twice as many families are visiting and food donations are about the same. I can take your donations in when I go volunteer and I can transport fresh/perishables safely.

I especially want to help (1) car-free people who cannot transport their heavy collected bags or donation boxes on the bus or by bicycle. (2) rescue ASAP extra or misdelivered meal kit boxes (blue apron, hello fresh, etc) and CSA boxes, and (3) single serving items for kids lunch programs and unhoused neighbors.

My job takes me driving all over north seattle (magnolia to ravenna, edmonds to lynnwood) and I would be happy to coordinate pickups that don't waste gasoline. In some cases I may be able to donate to the university food bank if it's on my way.

For large, busy households, or other locations with plenty of overstock at risk of waste/expiration, I can go through your pantry/freezer/fridge and organize your inventory and help you decide what to keep. I wear a fitted medical N95 respirator mask. References available! Please see my profile too.
