$53,734 were raised for West Seattle-area residents experiencing hunger at the West Seattle Food Bank's “A Grand Affair” fundraiser, this year held at the Sanctuary at Admiral. 

“The 800 families that come to our Food Bank and 450 kids that count on our backpack program each week – they are going to have what they need because of your support,” said Fran Yeatts, Executive Director of the West Seattle Food Bank. 

This fun, Roaring 20's, casino-style event featured tables hosted by celebrity Drag Queens, Kara Sutra & Donnatella Howe.

In 2017, the West Seattle Food Bank distributed 1.8 million pounds of food in support of more than 10,000 individuals. Through its innovative shopping-style model; Mobile Food Bank services, including four off-site distributions and home delivery program; backpack program; baby & child corner; community connection services; bookcase; pet pantry, and, 513 volunteers, the Food Bank is committed to providing food security and community connections to neighbors in need.
