The Highline Area Food Bank is already celebrating the season of giving, thanks to a $1,000 donation from Waste Management.

The Highline Area Food Bank gathers and distributes food to those in need in Burien and the greater Highline area. For more information, call 206-433-9900 or email highlinefb@gmail.com.

The holiday gift is part of a broader Waste Management initiative to help families in need. Across the Pacific Northwest, the company is now delivering $35,000 in donations to help non-profit organizations provide critical services.

In addition to the $1,000 gift, local Waste Management employees are donating food that will be matched by additional company funds. For every pound of food that employees donate to the food bank, the company is donating a dollar in addition to the $1,000 gift.

Waste Management is the leading provider of comprehensive recycling and environmental services in the Pacific Northwest and North America.
