Gallery Hosts Sequim Food Bank

During the month of March, Blue Whole Gallery is partnering with the Sequim Food Bank in the gallery’s nonprofit-focused month of giving. Blue Whole Gallery will host a kickoff event during First Friday, March 6th from 5 to 8 pm, and the public is invited to attend this free event.  Gallery artists will be donating a portion of the proceeds from art sales throughout the month to the Sequim Food Bank.

Gallery members chose the Sequim Food Bank as its annual nonprofit partner last fall when funding began affecting our neighbors and the food bank. In addition to the weekly food distribution at its Alder Street location, the food bank serves our community in many other ways. They provide weekend snacks and meals to local children and deliver ready-to-eat meals to homebound and recovering neighbors. The Mobile Food Pantry takes food directly to neighborhoods, rural areas, and senior sites.  And the Food Bank connects families with health, housing, and other supportive services, such as purchasing fresh produce from local farmers to then distribute to food bank participants. 

Blue Whole Gallery is pleased to invite the public to join them in March to support of Sequim Food Bank and our greater community. Monetary donations for the Sequim Food Bank will be accepted at Blue Whole Gallery throughout March.
