West Seattle Weblog… | YOU CAN HELP: Donate meals, garments, socks Sunday

Another chance for the neighbors this Sunday to show their generosity: Alki UCC has another fundraiser to collect groceries, men’s casual clothes and socks. Here is the announcement:

Sunday, May 16, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
In front of our main entrance at 6115 SW Hinds

While ALL non-perishable food donations are welcome for distribution through the White Center Food Bank, a food bank volunteer shared the following findings:

Sugar and flour are goodies.

Box milk is a treasure.

Canned food should be pop-top or donate a can opener.

Edible oil is a luxury and very much appreciated.

Spices, salt and pepper are a real gift.

Tuna and crackers make a great lunch.

Don’t forget the sandwich bread and jelly for PBB & J’s.

Pet food should be in clearly labeled containers.

Essential deliveries include:

• toilet paper
• Diapers / Similac Formula / Baby Wipes
• Can opener
• Personal hygiene items
• Hand sanitiser

Donations are also accepted for casual / work clothing for men and for NEW socks – the item of clothing that is most sought after by our homeless neighbors.
