Food Packing Party at the View Ridge PCC Tonight

The PCC Food Bank Program is holding a volunteer work party at 7pm tonight  at their View Ridge store.  Everyone is welcome to help package bulk foods such as beans, rice, pasta and grains which will be given to the University District Food bank.

The bulk food is acquired through a few different ways of PCC shopper donations.  Each store accepts monetary donations to the program and has a food bin where patrons can donate non-perishable goods. However, the easiest way to donate is to bring your own grocery tote!  Each time shoppers reuse their bags, five cents is automatically donated to the fund. 

If you can't make it to the work party tonight, fear not; the event happens every other month until the end of the year.  For more information, contact PCC's Community Relations at (206) 547-1222.
