The story was in the Seattle Times this morning: the Rainier Valley Food Bank was robbed of somewhere between $1,500 to $2,000 worth of food. The food would have gone to provide a Thanksgiving meal for around 450 families in need.

GHCU is taking a van at 1:00 pm today to purchase some replacement supplies at Costco. We encourage everyone who can to help restock the shelves of the stolen supplies.

We spoke with an official at Rainier Valley Food Bank, and were given a  list of needed items:

• canned vegetables
• canned fruit
• penaut butter
• tuna fish
• soup

The need for supplies is urgent, so if you’re able to help, please do.

If you live too far away to help the Rainier Valley Food Bank, remember that there are many individuals and families in need. You can find a food bank near you by entering your zip code in at FeedingAmerica.org.

Thank you!
