Support Food Lifeline, and Support Local Craft Beer!

Every day during the months of June, July, and August Full Sail Brewery will donate a portion of the proceeds from each case of beer sold at participating Western Washington grocery stores to Food Lifeline, the Western Washington member of America's Second Harvest, the Nation's Food Bank Network.

In the months of June and July, Full Sail will donate $1.00 per case sold at participating Western Washington Albertsons stores. In the months of July and August, Full Sail will donate $0.50 per case sold at participating Western Washington QFC stores.

Each dollar donated will provide five meals to hungry children in Western Washington. This is the third year that Full Sail is offering this promotion through Albertson's grocery stores in the Northwest, and the fourth year Full Sail has partnered with QFC to support Food Lifeline's efforts to end hunger in Western Washington.

10th Anniversary Bag Hunger a Success

A tremendous thank you to Moneytree, Inc., The Boeing Company, and Safeco Insurance for their sponsorship of the 10th Anniversary Bag Hunger Luncheon and Auction! With their support and the generosity of the luncheon attendees, Food Lifeline raised over $120,000!

Bidding for the seven auction items was fast and furious, raising $6,500 to help feed hungry children in Western Washington. Among the items guests had the opportunity to bid on were a barrel filled with bottles of wine donated by the Food Lifeline Board of Directors, three weekend getaways, a quilt created for the event by the Boeing In Stitches Quilt Club, and two pairs of Seattle Seahawks tickets!

The traditional Bag Hunger Commemorative Plates made way for a new tradition: note cards featuring the hopes and dreams of children served by some of the 300 food banks, meal programs and shelters that Food Lifeline provides food. If you are interested in purchasing a set of these limited edition note cards or one of the few remaining commemorative plates, please send an email to Events@FLL.org
