 Double-time
your dollar at the Comcast Bite of Seattle presented by Emerald Queen
Casino and feed yourself while feeding the hungry.
Since its inception in 1982, Seattle’s premier food festival has
successfully retained a connection to the community by raising funds
for local charities and once again, the Bite teams up with some of
Western Washington’s most notable charity organizations to retain a
connection to the community.
Food Lifeline, a primary partner with the Bite benefits from the event
in a number of ways. Diners who drop-in on the long-standing Bite
favorite, The Alley hosted by Tom Douglas sponsored by Tillamook
Cheese, will contribute a portion of their $9.50 Alley admission toward
FLL’s mission to end hunger.
Additionally, FLL benefits from festival vendors who donate left over
food from restaurant booths at the end of each day. Visitors
hungry to help can also look for FLL’s numerous bright yellow donation
boxes throughout Seattle Center and do their bit at the Bite to provide
for others.
This organization works to make food resources available for Western
Washington’s hungry end hunger by feeding over 560,000 individuals
annually.
Need to whet your whistle? Enjoy a libation
while providing donation to the Culinary Arts Promotion Association
when you visit the various beer gardens around the Bite.
A portion of beer garden proceeds benefit 2008 CAPA recipient,
FareStart, a job training program with an emphasis on culinary
education provided to homeless and disadvantaged individuals in the
greater Seattle area.
