As the month draws to a close the boxes are out, donations are in, and awareness about how we can all help drive away hunger in the Northwest is way, way up.THANK YOU SEATTLE!!! What an incredible place to call home and share community. And this week’s sun doesn’t hurt either!

Wow! This feels good! Instead of Black Friday, Cyber Monday and reports of mass mobs at retail, we all get to give a little, or a lot. Love this initiative to reach out to our communities this holiday season.

The original Food Driving Box

There are so many simple, yet powerful ways to give. From sharing a smile to a donation to your local human services charity to filling a Food Driving Box and dropping non-perishable food and personal supplies to one of Seattle’s 27 area food banks.

It’s an easy step and a great way to kick off a giving holiday season. When you do you’ll head right to the top of the Nice List!

Here’s a list of Seattle’s convenient and easy to find Food Banks to pick up your FREE Food Driving Box and make

direct donations to help drive away hunger in the Northwest.

Thank you!

Come on down to Magnuson Park on August 24th from 10a-3p for Seattle Parks & Recreation’s Big Day of Play! Food Driving Box will be there handing out FREE Food Driving Boxes so families in our community can help drive away hunger in the Northwest.

Come say hi and join the fun!

The very first Food Driving Box was an old open-toppped, handled box that we got to cart home a gingerbread house that we decorated last holiday season. The bubbles were percolating on the Food Driving Box idea and this box set it into motion. I’m thankful for everything that led us to now.

The original Food Driving Box

Once we gently unloaded our gingerbread house the box sat in the basement for a couple of weeks before we pulled it out and said ‘ah ha!’ Let’s decorate this and start using it for our weekly food bank donations. Here’s the result. While the original will always be a favorite, we’re all thrilled with the real deal too!

Please join us and get your FREE Food Driving Box to help us drive away hunger in the NW. Thank you!
