Do Your Part: Food Driving Box Campaign
By Seattle Mag February 13, 2014
!–paging_filter–pSolid Ground and Seattle Food Committee have teamed up with local mom and designer Jennifer Porter for a href=”http://fooddrivingbox.org/” target=”_blank”Food Driving Box/a to help with hunger and food insecurity in the Seattle Area./p
pFebruary is a historically low month for food donations, says Porter, who has worked to stock 27 Seattle food banks with free cardboard boxes to keep in your trunk to fill with donations. They’re convenient and reusable and since they’re in your trunk, always top of mind./p
pEach box also lists all 27 Seattle food banks with locations and phone numbers as well as a scannable QR code to find out drop off hours for each bank./p
pThis promotion is running all month long, so there’s still time to participate. It’s all about sharing the love./p
