Remember, all proceeds from the auction go to the non-profit, 501(c)(3) Food Bank @ St. Mary's. PLEASE BID GENEROUSLY. The object is not to get "A Good Deal" but to support a non-profit, social service agency that feeds those in need and does so much more to improve the quality of life for people who are suffering or facing hard times.
For over 66 years (since 1946) the mission of The Food Bank at St. Mary’s in Seattle, WA has been: “Supporting our community with hospitality, respect and nutritious food.” Our goals and our programs serve to meet the basic food needs of the most vulnerable in our community who are unable to provide for themselves, including low income and poverty level families, infants, young children, the elderly, disabled, handicapped, homeless and home-bound individuals, those who are experiencing severe hardships for the first time due to job lay-offs or other misfortunes and those who are in permanent dire circumstances. This celebrity auction is to raise funding for our programs and food purchases. In 2011 we served over 83,000 people and distributed over 3,000,000 pounds of food to people in times of great need. Currently in 2012 we are feeding over 8,000 people a month. Our website is www.thefbsm.org.
Again, the fundraising celebrity item auction goes live for 10 days starting this coming Saturday morning, September 1st and ends on September 10th.
Thank you so much for your generous support of the Food Bank @ St. Mary's. Your bidding helps feed others. If you have any questions about any of the items, call Freeda at 206-769-5941.
