White Center Food Bank


July 28, 2010

Working as a volunteer for various places for the past 20 years before becoming the Resource Coordinator at White Center Food Bank, Audrey has poured her dedication into helping the West Seattle community. The White Center Food Bank has been serving canned and fresh food to around 1,500 families a month for the past 30 years. A new project of White Center is the community gardens around the facility. The front and sides of the building itself holds “edible landscaping”, a plot of small land that grows strawberries and herbs, instead of decorative flowers, that will go to benefiting clients. The gardens provide all natural and organic crops that can go directly to those in need. Four times a year, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers and peppers are harvested and given away.
