BENEFITING: RAINIER VALLEY FOOD BANK
EVENT: Amica Insurance Seattle Marathon & Half Marathon 2014
THE STORY:
The Rainier Valley Food Bank has been serving our neighborhoods most vulnerable residents since 1991. Located in one of the nations most diverse neighborhoods we are providing groceries for 17-18,000 guests a month. We are open for general distribution on Wednesdays and Saturdays focusing on food that is fresh, healthy, and culturally appropriate. In addition to our general distributions we deliver groceries to homebound guest and provide "to-go" bags for guests without access to cooking facilities. All of this is made possible by a staff of three, two AmeriCorp VISTAs and hundreds of volunteers.
