Even while furloughed, employees from the National Labor Relations Board spent their day volunteering at the ACRS Food Bank, serving others when times are uncertain for them, too. This is what community looks like. 💙

With SNAP benefits recently cut, more people are turning to us for help. You can make a difference too by volunteering (acrs.org/volunteerfoodbank) or donating (acrs.org/donatefoodbank) to the food bank. 🍚🥬

Today, the Seattle Seahawks brought their incredible team spirit to the ACRS Food Bank! Players Jalen Milroe and Devon Witherspoon, two Seahawks dancers, and an amazing crew of staff and volunteers all pitched in to pack food bags for folks in need.

With SNAP benefit cuts affecting our community, more people are turning to food banks for support. The extra hands and hearts from our Seahawks friends mean the world to us.

Thank you for helping us ensure everyone has access to healthy, culturally familiar food. Together, we’re feeding hope and strengthening community. 💙💚💙💚
