IHAHD Seattle: December Event

Happy #InternationalHaveaHartDay! Thanks for coming out and helping us fight hunger! 15 volunteers plus 20 others sorted over 13 pallets of food, totaling more than 5,000 lbs and 3,846 meals! The Tukwila Pantry isn’t usually blessed with more than 3-10 volunteers per shift, so we were able to help clean and organize things they don’t usually get to work on as well as helping with the distribution of food in their pantry. 

If you are interested in volunteering with them, please visit their website or show up T/Th/Sa from 9-12! It’s always refreshing to see how Starbucks helps out with their donated Mercato food. Thanks again and be on the look out for our next event post. We’re planning on Saturday, January 6th. Video will be up ASAP as well.
