 Those attending the Bite™ can help support Food Lifeline
in three ways. Food Lifeline is
the largest non-profit food bank distribution agency dedicated to
ending hunger is Washington. Last year, Food Lifeline secured 21
million pounds of food-the equivalent of nearly 16.4 million
meals-to feed hungry families and individuals throughout Western
Washington. Food Lifeline distributes food to more than 550,000
people through a network of 250+ food banks, hot meal programs and
shelters.
In 2007 the Bite puts the focus on Food
Lifeline in a whole new way! As you walk into the Bite of Seattle this
year, you will notice Donation Stations where YOU can help feed hungry
families in Western Washington by donating to Food Lifeline. Food
Lifeline representatives will be on hand to answer questions about
their goals and programs. Help out Food Lifeline and receive a token
of appreciation! Suggested donation is $5.
In 2007 the Bite introduces The Alley hosted by Tom Douglas. Six
Seattle-area restaurants per day will participate in this event- 14
total!
Just North of KeyArena, stop by and get a heaping meal of specialties
from these restaurants for only $8.50! Proceeds benefit Food
Lifeline.
 Last year the Bite of Seattle also hosted the Taste of the Nation Gala
in Fisher Pavilion the Thursday night before the Bite opened. Over 50
of Seattle's finest chefs participated in this great event that
supports Share Our Strength which in turn funds local charities such as
Food Lifeline. Last year’s event raised $195,000 and we are proud to
help Taste of the Nation celebrate its 20th Anniversary in 2007. This
event will take place on Thursday, July 19th, in Seattle Center's Fisher
Pavilion. For more information and to purchase tickets, please

Culinary Arts Promotion Association
The Association benefits from the donations and proceeds from the beer
& wine garden at the Bite. The association makes donations that
support culinary educational programs at the area schools. This year's CAPA receipient is Fare Start.
