One Trot. One Mission.
Ballard Food Bank’s mission is to bring food and hope to our neighbors, because there can be enough for everyone.
When you participate in the Seattle Turkey Trot, you help bring food and hope to thousands of our neighbors!
Food and hygiene is a universal need. Our community support through events such as the Seattle Turkey Trot help us ensure our neighbors don’t go hungry. COVID-19 has shaken our world and left many of us in precarious circumstances. More than ever, we need your continued to support as we serve nearly double the amount of clients we did before this pandemic.
Despite the trials of the COVID-19, we are truly fortunate to have such strong support. In mid-October we will be opening our new home, A Hub for Hope! We ask for your continued support as we transition to expanding and launching new programs in this new home of ours. We hope you will join us for the 2021 Seattle Turkey Trot and help us bring food, hygiene, an community resources to our neighbors.
