In partnership with local organizations including Sustainable Ballard and Two Feet Project, the event supported Ballard Food Bank’s mission: to bring food and hope to our neighbors — because there can be enough for everyone. Established in the early 1970’s, the food bank offers a variety of services including access to nutritious food, home delivery, the Weekend Food for Kids program, and the Community Resource Hub, which connects people to housing, medical care, and veterans’ benefits, all under one roof.

Requested donation items included non-perishable food, full-size hygiene products, clothing, and pet food and supplies. Attendees were also encouraged to enter the “You Give, We Gift” giveaway, which featured daily prize packs as well as a grand prize including a $350 gift card to Ballard Blocks, and the 2021 Fall Collection set by Cathedral Candles. Attendees also had the opportunity to learn about the important work of each participating organization serving the community, snapped photos at the Show Us Your Heart photo wall, and received a sweet treat in return.
