"These are both scary and exciting times at the West Seattle Food Bank," said board president Pete Spalding, "scary due to the ever-increasing demands placed upon our available resources, but exciting when we have community members that are willing to step up to the challenges we face by joining our board of directors. West Seattle Food Bank is blessed with a number of very caring people who help us with our mission."
