We love our neighborhood’s restaurants -- not just because they serve up such a wide variety of terrifically delicious food. They’re great supporters of the work we do day in and day out to feed our hungry neighbors. Fifteen restaurants are participating in our second annual Columbia City Chow Down from 5 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24. Here’s what a few of them say about why they’re taking part, and why they support Rainier Valley Food Bank.
ʺI love how it brings the businesses together to strengthen and support the community.ʺ
– Leanne Jones-Hauser, Jones Barbecue
"Here at Rookies, we believe that contributing to a community is the best way to give back. The Rainier Valley Food Bank is an organization that exemplifies positive change in South Seattle, and one that we are very excited to support."
– Whitney Stovall, Rookies Sports Bar and Grill
“I like to help everybody else just like the food bank is doing.ʺ
– Chef Jacques Saar, Afrikando Banadir
