PNA Parking Lot Hosts Produce for the People
Produce for the People, a joint project of Food Lifeline and
Rotary's Operation First Harvest, is a program that supplies
Seattle-area food banks with fresh, edible but unsalable produce
rescued from local retailers and wholesalers. This fresh produce is
distributed the same day to food banks via several redistribution
sites, including one at the Phinney Neighborhood Center lower lot on
Tuesday mornings.

site at http://www.foodlifeline.org.

Another Way to Contribute:
Greenwood and Ballard Markets donate 1 per cent of the total of donated receipts to the
PNA Those donations have been earmarked for the soup kitchen. However, for the next year they will be directed to the Greenwood Senior Center due to its greater need. Don't throw away
your grocery store receipts from the Ballard and Greenwood Markets!
Your purchases add up to a significant contribution to this program.
You can drop off or mail your receipts to the Phinney Center, 6532
Phinney Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103. |
