YOU CAN HELP: Four fun ways to support West Seattle Food Bank this month
Community support can make you happy – as well as the people benefiting from that support. Robbin Peterson of the West Seattle Food Bank provides these reminders:
Food, Frights, and a Little Friendly Competition: October at West Seattle Food Bank!
October is shaping up to be a busy month of community support for West Seattle Food Bank
*We’re celebrating the 14th annual PT Challenge, with six local physical therapy clinics participating in a friendly competition to collect food for their neighbors experiencing food insecurity.
A big thank-you to Sea Pines Physical Therapy, Sound Physical Therapy, Therapeutic Associates Physical Therapy, Kinetic Physical Therapy, Lake Washington Physical Therapy, and Biojunction Sports Therapy for keeping this wonderful tradition going!
*And for those who like their giving with a side of spooky, Nightfall Haunt and Meeds Manor haunted houses are joining the fun, collecting food donations from visitors throughout the Halloween season!
*Think you’ve got what it takes to be a trivia champion? Hope you got your ticket (sales ended Tuesday) to join us this Saturday, October 17, at First Lutheran Church of West Seattle for Cup of Blessings, an evening of dinner, trivia, and friendly competition, all in support of West Seattle Food Bank!
*And if all that competition hasn’t worn you out, we’re turning up the heat with our annual Chili Cookoff at the West Seattle Harvest Festival on Sunday, October 25! Nine local restaurants will bring their best chili creations to compete for the 2026 trophy and bragging rights, with proceeds supporting West Seattle Food Bank’s food assistance and eviction prevention programs. (Look for the chili inside ArtsWest.)
Food and housing are two of life’s most basic necessities, and too many of our neighbors are struggling to afford both. Every donation of food or essential supplies, every flight of chili purchased, and every act of generosity helps us respond to those growing needs.
We’re grateful to the businesses, volunteers, and community members who make it all happen. West Seattle has a wonderful way of showing up for its neighbors, and October is no exception.
So whether you’re visiting your physical therapist, getting the daylights scared out of you, showing off your trivia skills, or sampling some delicious chili, October is a great time to give back!
