Drive Change with a "replacement" van for Platefull
Tax deductible
Butterfly Effect: JUNE 2024 Charity Pick
Sofia and Lisa (and their tiny group of volunteers) collect food (& often flowers!) from local food banks and grocery stores and then deliver directly to the client. The Platefull is an "ALL" volunteer organization. They often get a call from one of their "community providers" and off they go to pick up the donated items and then deliver directly to one of their partners...nothing goes to waste!
We were moved! They desperately need a replacement van. The van in question was purchased for $700 and has already had an electrical fire.
We are hoping to collect enough money to fund a new "gently-used" van.
Here is their "mission" and "motivation":
Our Mission
- To partner with local resources to provide the best possible outcome for the needs of the community.
Our Motivation
- In 2018 there were 204,850 food insecure individuals in King County. 53,870 of these people are children. Food insecurity is a global issue with lasting emotional, psychological, and developmental effects. No one deserves to live hungry, everyone deserves a plate full.
Please visit their website for more information on their community providers and partners.
Just a reminder, Platefull is a 501c3. If you are using a DAF and/or check to donate please let Kelly Weyer know the details.
