I have been a volunteer at the Ballard Food Bank for 7 months and plan to continue to do so. I have been very impressed with the way this organization works. They provide essential services for people who need some help as well as providing grocery food and hot meals. They also have a well supported outreach service that brings food to its clients. I've been treated with respect as a volunteer. The volunteers themselves work extremely well with each other, show up on time, work hard and make it a pleasure to work there. I strongly urge anyone to donate money or food goods etc. It will be well used to a very good cause.
