Serving the most vulnerable people in our community is the top priority for Mary’s Place and the Pike Market Food Bank & Senior Center. These hygiene, sanitation and critical household goods will be deployed across their shelters to get them to individuals and families with the greatest needs, including homeless families and seniors, and to protect employees.
The Seattle Humane Society’s Pet Food Bank feeds over 2,000 pets every month. The food bank prevents the need to surrender pets due to economic stability, and they never want anyone to need to make that heartbreaking decision. The Seattle Humane Society anticipates these needs to continue growing as people in our community are laid off due to COVID-19 work closures.
