For the fourth consecutive year, Regency’s Ballard Blocks shopping center proudly hosted the “We Love Our Neighbors” donation drive — a two-week initiative dedicated to supporting Seattle families in need.
Held from November 1 to 15, the drive benefited Ballard Food Bank and other vital community partners, including Sustainable Ballard, The Bridge Care Center, Seattle Dogs Homeless Program, and Seattle Cathedral.
To inspire generosity, shoppers were invited to participate in the “You Give, We Gift” giveaway, offering a chance to win $25–$50 gift cards to various Ballard Blocks retailers. Additionally, the first 25 donors each day who brought a full bag of items received a complimentary Ballard Blocks canvas tote — a small token of appreciation for their big-hearted contributions.
The response from the community was overwhelming. Collection bins, stationed throughout the center, overflowed with donations of food, soft goods, and hygiene items. This year’s campaign set a new record, with an impressive 1,847 pounds of non-perishable goods and essentials collected. On top of that, $756 in cash contributions was raised to further support local families in need.
The ‘We Love Our Neighbors’ donation drive is one of the highlights of the year for Ballard Blocks,” said Alisa Taggart, Property Marketing Manager. “It’s incredible to see our community come together to support local families and organizations in need. The generosity we witness year after year is truly inspiring.
In addition to the donations collected, Regency Centers donated $2,500 toward the purchase of holiday turkeys. An anonymous donor also contributed 14 shares of Regency Centers stock, further amplifying the campaign’s impact.
Ballard Blocks is a 248,572 SF shopping center located just north of downtown Seattle, WA, in a community growing with an influx of young families and professionals. Anchored by Trader Joe’s, its merchandising mix includes retailers like Sephora, LA Fitness, and Ross Dress for Less.
