Join Swansons and help make sure every child in our community has the food they need!
This Valentine's Day, let's show some love for our neighbors!
Swansons Nursery is proud to support Ballard Food Bank's efforts! We are passionate about making sure that kids in our community have access to healthy, nutritious food through the Weekend Food For Kids program and we are continually impressed by the way Ballard Food Bank serves our community with compassion and respect.
The Weekend Food for Kids program provides a weekend’s worth of easy-to-prepare, nutritious food to any child who identifies as needing the resource. While at school, children receive as much as half of their daily calories - Weekend Food For Kids works to bridge the nutrition gap for students outside of school. Ballard Food Bank makes sure that 640 students receive food across 21 schools in Northwest Seattle.
Participation in Weekend Food for Kids is confidential. School staff, teachers, and family members identify students who would benefit from weekend meals. Students are also welcome to sign up on their own. Each week, the Food Bank packs bags with 3 dinners, 2 lunches, 2 breakfasts, and snacks including fresh produce. School personnel and volunteers then discreetly distribute the bags to students on Thursdays or Fridays.
Please make a gift today to help make sure children and families have the food and support they need! Ballard Food Bank is there for those who need it with the help of caring people like you.
Your gift will be matched up to $6,000 by Swansons through February 21st. Let’s see how much we can raise to help our community!
