Help feed needy at Friday’s Winterfest

As they do each year, Village merchants will become food-drive destinations during the Village Winterfest, 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 9.

The food drive is a major component of the Village’s winter celebration and all donations will benefit the Ballard Food Bank.

The food bank supports families in Ballard, Queen Anne and Magnolia, and each year Village merchants collect food and funds for the organization. Visitors are encouraged to bring canned goods and other non-perishables to the stores. Each participating store will have a “DONATE HERE” sign out front.

In addition to the food drive, some stores will feature live music and holiday treats. The merchants are also hosting a children’s art exhibit and a fundraiser for the Moyer Foundation.
