It was crowded and the array of food from 48 vendors created a blend of aromas only found once a year in West Seattle during the annual Taste of West Seattle benefit event.
The annual Taste of West Seattle benefit event was a sell out again as hundreds packed into the Hall at Fauntleroy to sample flavors from 48 restaurants and others around the area. The admission price all went to help the West Seattle Helpline charity.
Monies raised (which we will provide in an update once they have been totaled) will provide the following for West Seattle families facing one-time emergencies:
- Rent & Utilities
- Clothing at the Clothesline
- Metro bus tickets
- Back to school supplies
- Referrals to other agencies
It's not too late to support the West Seattle Helpline.
