Seattle Times - "Spare time? Feed the hungry, reap personal rewards"

The Seattle Time author Bill Thorness has written about the many opportunities to volunteer to feed the hungry around Seattle

"Volunteering to help feed your neighbors in these tough times might be a different twist on what to do with your weekend and leisure hours. But it's an idea with lots of personal payback."

The Rotary Club of Lake Union has regularly supported Rotary First Harvest www.firstharvest.org.  You can find more about that organization at their website or sign up to be a fan of them on facebook.

You can join one of their regular Rotary work parties packaging food at Northwest Harvest on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month.
