Celebrate PSLA Food Bank’s Grand Opening on Friday
The PSLA Food Bank will hold its Grand Opening celebration/fundraiser at its new Georgetown location, 5300 4th Ave. South in Seattle, from noon to 4 p.m. on Friday, April 22. Join special guests Washington State Labor Council President Larry Brown, former WSLC President Rick Bender and other distinguished guests at this fun event featuring live music, food and drink, a raffle and silent auction. Please RSVP here.
Even as the PSLA Food Bank moved to temporary locations at Showbox Sodo and elsewhere, it has continued to serve its clients, including more than 150 from its former Belltown community. During the 2020/2021 fiscal year, it served more than 65,000 people and provided more than 630,000 pounds of nutritious food to the community through its food bank.
“PSLA wants to change the idea of what a food bank is and combat the idea that only a select few would benefit from a food bank’s services,” said PSLA Executive Director Samuel Sim.
Above all, PSLA Food Bank is fueled by innovation and adaptability. It has expanded its capacity while always striving to serve its clients fresh produce, quality proteins, various specialty items, and culturally conscious groceries.
