Press Release:
The Kiwanis Club of West Seattle collected more than 7,000 pounds of food plus over $965.00 in cash donations for the West Seattle Food Bank on Saturday April 2nd at West Seattle grocery stores, including Metropolitan Market, PCC, Jefferson Square QFC, Safeway and Morgan Street Thriftway. Special thanks goes out to all the members of the community who generously donated to support this worthy cause.
 
The food drive was held as part of Kiwanis ONE Day, a global volunteer action day uniting the entire Kiwanis family, including Kiwanis, Circle K, Key Club, Builder’s Club, Aktion Club, K-Kids and Kiwanis Junior.  On this day, local volunteers joined nearly 600,000 volunteers around the world in devoting a few hours to hands-on volunteer service.  Kiwanis expects that Kiwanis ONE Day contributed nearly one million service hours around the world in just one day.  Kiwanis ONE Day was designated by Kiwanis International in order to unite all youth and adult members from different parts of the Kiwanis family together in service.

"We were thrilled to have members of our sponsored High School Key Clubs and University Circle K Clubs participate in the food drive along side Kiwanis members. The food drive is a hands-on project that has a direct impact on our community, and is a great way for our members to connect with youth who are also committed to community service." says West Niver, President of the West Seattle Kiwanis Club.
