Also tomorrow: Stamp Out Hunger food drive, with an extra dropoff spot

| How to help | West Seattle news

In addition to West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, among many other events, tomorrow is also the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive. Leave a bag of nonperishable food by your mailbox or front door (if you get mail through a slot) in the morning, and your letter carrier will pick it up – what could be easier than a door-to-door food drive? If it’s not convenient to leave the bag outside, or if you want to save your letter carrier a little work, owner Andrea at Café Osita in Sunrise Heights (northwest side of 35th/Webster) says her coffee shop is now an official dropoff spot: 8 am-2 pm tomorrow, take your bag of food there, and she’ll give you free flavoring (or a free extra shot) if you order a drink while you’re there.

This is the largest single day food drive in the country. Almost all of the food collected in West Seattle will stay in West Seattle and be given out to the clients of the West Seattle Food Bank.

This is our 2nd year participating in this important event and are honored to help our mail carriers by eliminating the extra pounds the food adds to their already heavy load.
Help us help them help others!
