Food Bank Volunteer Field Trip

In the month of October five members of Immanuel's volunteer community celebrated the many successes they had won during the preceding months by going on a field trip! The group rode the light rail line from downtown's Westlake station to Mount Baker where they got off the train to eat ice cream then they rode the remainder of the line to Tukwila International.

In the previous 5 months volunteers collectively donated hundreds of hours of time to staff the food bank, this included time spent at a series of volunteer meetings where a feedback and brainstorming process created changes to how the food bank operated. Through a better food bank over 2,000 people were fed and this field trip was a way to celebrate the community success.

All are welcome at the food bank, no ID required, doors open at 9:30am close at 11am, there is a wide selection of healthy food and we are always accepting donations.
