Outreach
Food bank collection
The West Seattle Food Bank box and all collections are in room C. Suggested donations for January are pastas, noodles and sauces. Compass Housing Alliance is in need of socks for me and women. Any non-perishable foods, personal products, or grocery store gift cards are welcome. Your much needed donations are taken to the West Seattle food Bank, Compass Housing Alliance, Mary’s Place, and Westside Neighbors.
Additionally, Thriftway receipts can be dropped off to support the food bank. West Seattle Thrift are giving back 1% of sales from receipts turned in to benefit our local foodbank. Simply drop off the receipts in an envelope at the Extended Ministry bulletin board outside of Room C.
