Olympic Food Drive

In November, Will Haas, one of our drivers at the Magnolia Delivery Kitchen, approached me about doing a food drive. There were plenty of businesses and organizations holding food drives over the holidays, so Will suggested that we hold one later in the winter when food banks would be running low again. We picked the Olympics as the time to have our food drive. While hometown athletes ski, skate and luge into the hero spotlight, this seemed like a great time for us to all be hometown heroes by donating food to local organizations. From February 12-28, we will be collecting non-perishable food items to benefit Northwest Harvest. Food can be dropped off at any of our locations or given to one of our delivery drivers upon order delivery. Northwest Harvest buys white rice and beans in bulk. They encourage other food donations like:

Oatmeal Whole grain pastas Brown rice Tomato products Canned vegetables Canned fruit Canned fish or meat Shelf-stable milk Beef stew, chili and similar meals Baby formula Canned milk Infant cereal Jars of baby food Powdered or canned milk Baby diapers
