Help the NWDF Support your local Food Bank this Holiday Season
The NWDF would like to help those in need in our community at this time of year. We are asking NWDF members who are attending events at Harmony Hall in Seattle this Holiday season to think of those less fortunate and bring a non-perishable food item like rice, pasta or canned goods to Harmony Hall with you and place it in our food donation box. We will deliver the food to Northwest Harvest in time for the Holidays. Thank you!
Did you know that the elderly and children, two of the most vulnerable segments of our society, represent more than half of those who receive food assistance from Northwest Harvest? One in every eight households in Washington State is hungry or at risk for hunger. More than 75% of all poor children in the U.S. live in working families.
Are you concerned about those who need food but cannot get out to obtain provisions from a food bank? Over 300 organizations providing food assistance through outreach receive the food they provide to their beneficiaries from Northwest Harvest. The Oregon Food Bank serves very similar populations.
The Northwest Danish Foundation realizes that hunger and the need for food in our communities is greater than most realize. Our food drive is a good way for us to reach out and help fill a very basic need in our communities.
