West Seattle Food Bank gets big pre-holiday help from Nucor

It was just as good as – maybe better than! – Santa Claus driving his sleigh up to the West Seattle Food Bank. In this case, a bus borrowed from the West Seattle YMCA (WSB sponsor), whose Josh Sutton was at the wheel, brought Nucor Steel Seattle‘s 2,100-pound food donation to the WS Food Bank this afternoon. From left are Beth Roush, Jim Peterson, Kate Johnson, WS Food Bank’s Fran Yeatts and Mike Tinker, Clifton Eskridge. Nucor employees also contributed more than $20,000 cash!

The boxes and barrels brought via bus included pet food as well as people food – both are welcome at your local food bank. This is the second big delivery by Nucor this week; we were also at Southwest Youth and Family Services last Thursday when Nucor employees distributed holiday food packages for more than 400 people!

SIDE NOTE: If you know of any last-minute holiday-help needs, please let us know so we can help get the word out – lots of folks are still looking for ways to help!

    Thank you so very much for sharing such a wonderful and inspiring event. The people who work at Nucor must be feeling quite proud of themselves! This truly represents what the holidays need to be about … looking beyond our own needs and doing whatever we can do for our community. Bravo y muy bueno to everyone at Nucor!

    Nucor is a great company and they always team up as a family to support their own employees and causes within the community.

    I can think of some other corporations that could learn from Nucor’s example. There’s a lot that talk the talk, but until you can load a bus with donations, you aren’t really walking the walk. Kudos to Nucor and their employees.

Sorry, comment time is over.
