In August, WeDo Fudge held a peanut butter drive at its drive-thru fudge stand to benefit the Sequim Food Bank. To sweeten the effort, they gave each participant a free piece of fudge. They collected and donated 29 pounds of peanut butter and $66 in tips.
All funds donated to the food bank go toward helping distribute food to Sequim residents in need.
Annually, the food bank operates on about $200,000 in monetary donations along with about $650,000 of in-kind food donations. It helps feed more than 2,100 families with the financial support of many thoughtful individuals, organizations, businesses, church congregations and local foundations. Contributions help ensure a steady supply of important basic foods, especially milk and eggs which are very difficult to obtain via donation.
