Free Food This Week - And Sounders FC RAVE Foundation Soccer Balls for Kids
Food Lifeline, Washington’s largest hunger-relief agency, is teaming up with Seattle Sounders FC And RAVE Foundation this week to help provide food for those who need it.
The soccer balls: The first 250 children visiting our Century Link Field food distribution on Thursday, June 18th will receive a free, high-quality soccer ball through RAVE Foundation. RAVE Foundation is the charitable arm of Seattle Sounders FC.
These balls are part of the RAVE Foundations “One Ball” program which aims to remove a barrier to participation in soccer and free play will eventually give away 100,000 soccer balls to kids who need them.
Food Lifeline also continues its public distribution of free food to the general public this week at all locations.
The standard emergency food boxes each contain 22-25 lbs of shelf-stable food items like canned fruits and vegetables, canned meats, non-meat protein items, and bread and grains. There will also be fresh produce and select dairy items for those attending the distributions. (While supplies last)
Those wishing to take home boxes can receive a drive-up no-touch distribution, and there will also be walk-up distribution.

About Food Lifeline:
ANYONE can have access to this food. This is a confidential distribution, so there will be no paperwork or qualification. Food Lifeline is only asking for zip codes to track its efforts. Food Lifeline encourages everyone to take home this nutritious food. We are all struggling during this crisis, and no one should hesitate to accept this help. “We have hundreds of thousands of neighbors that are unemployed right now and struggling to keep rent and mortgages paid, utility bills are taken care of, and food on the table”, says Linda Nageotte, President, and CEO of Food Lifeline. “The food part, we’ve got that.”
We provide nutritious food to hundreds of thousands of people facing hunger in Western Washington every year. We do this by sourcing millions of pounds of donated food, including fresh produce, from farmers, manufacturers, wholesalers and distribution centers, grocers, restaurants, and retail locations.
