As food prices continue to rise, Seattle food banks are starting to feel the crunch. “DJ Shamus” from the Ballard LiveJournal group toured Ballard’s Food Bank this week. “I noticed a lack of such things as canned tomatoes (they just had a few cans of sauce) and other vegetables, meals in a can (chili, beef stew, chicken & noodles), tuna fish, canned soups (no cream of mushroom soup at all), spaghetti sauce, toilet paper, paper towels, dish and laundry detergent, hand soap… (but) their biggest need is donations of money.” You can donate here. A very noble cause, to say the least.
