Inaugural Campaign

Thank you to EVERYONE who participated in the Yes We CAN campaign. It was an amazing success with over $12,100 and $4,100 pounds of food. 

Many people have been inquiring as to the Obama bags.  We're sorry for the delay, but you will get one!  The first run had some problems and the bags are out of stock until the end of February.  We will be contacting you. We're sorry you have to wait!

FamilyWorks Food Bank, like all food banks, is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of people needing food and a decrease in the amount of food we have to give.  This drive has been an amazing help in helping to meet the need.   

We appreciate all your 44 dollars, your 44 cans of food celebrating our 44^th President, Barack Obama! 

For more information, contact jakew@familyworksseattle.org or call 206-694-6726

By the way, for every 44 dollars or 44 cans of food you donate, you will receive a grocery bag with the gorgeous artwork seen above on it. The artwork was donated by Adrian Patino and you can click here to see his amazing talents.
