Safeco Insurance Foundation donates nearly $200,000 to Washington, Oregon food banks
Seattle, Wash. (Dec. 21, 2011) — To help alleviate the shortfall felt by local food banks that have seen a significant drop in donations and rising demand, the Safeco Insurance Foundation is closing out 2011 by providing $194,748 in grants to 21 food banks in Washington and Oregon.
“We see the shrinking resources and the increasing need in our Northwest communities,” said Paul Hollie, director, Safeco Insurance Foundation. “This outreach, we hope, can offer some measure of relief in a very direct and immediate way.”
Assistance is especially vital to many families during the winter months, so the foundation is supporting a wide range of food banks, from smaller, community-based organizations to countywide distribution centers and statewide networks.
Grants from the Safeco Insurance Foundation are being distributed as quickly as possible. “This is a time when food banks need our support the most,” Hollie said.
