Help collect fresh produce from the Capitol Hill Farmers Market for JFS and Polack Food Bank clients. Collection takes place every second and fourth Sunday of the month. The Food Bank serves food insecure households in the Capitol Hill, Central District and Downtown neighborhoods; as well as vulnerable members of the Jewish community in the Puget Sound region. Food banks are a small but critical piece of the food security system for our most vulnerable community members.
