your dollar at the Comcast Bite of Seattle and feed yourself while feeding the hungry. Food Lifeline is a local hunger relief organization, efficiently serving the Western Washington are by using 95% of its revenue to directly feed hungry people. Last year the organization delivered more than 19 million meals to hungry people through its network of nearly 300 neighborhood food banks, hot meal programs, shelters and other food providers.
Since its inception in 1982, Seattle’s premier food festival has
successfully retained a connection to the community by raising funds
for local charities and once again, the Bite teams up with some of
Western Washington’s most notable charity organizations to retain a
connection to the community.
Food Lifeline, a primary partner with the Bite benefits from the event
in a number of ways. Diners who drop in on the long-standing Bite
favorite, The Alley hosted by Tom Douglas sponsored by Painted Hills Natural Beef, will contribute a portion of their $10 Alley admission toward
FLL’s mission to end hunger.
Additionally, FLL benefits from festival vendors who donate left over
food from restaurant booths at the end of each day. Visitors
hungry to help can also look for FLL’s numerous bright yellow donation
boxes throughout Seattle Center and do their bit at the Bite to provide
for others.
This organization works to make food resources available for Western
Washington’s hungry end hunger by feeding over 560,000 individuals
annually.
