We received a desperate plea this morning from Nancy McKinney, executive director of the Ballard Food Bank, “We have almost no turkeys to hand out this week.” Twenty minutes later she called back with a tone of relief saying the North Helpline in Lake City will be sending down 100 turkeys for the Ballard Food Bank.

Although there are more than 100 turkeys, the Ballard Food Bank is still low on some Thanksgiving meal staples. “We can still use stuffing, whipped cream, butter and cranberries,” McKinney says. You can drop these items off at the Ballard Food Bank (7001 24th Ave NW) today, Tuesday & Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Food, clothing and hygiene items are also being collected in the Food Bank barrels at the locations highlighted on the map.
