The White Center Food Bank will host its "Taste of White Center" event on June 28, from 11 a. m. to 3 p. m. at 16th Ave SW and 98th Street.
The festival showcases over 30 local restaurants, including favorites like Puffy Pandy and Salvadorean Bakery, offering $5 tastings of various dishes. Proceeds from ticket sales will support the food bank, which served over 13,600 individuals and distributed 1. 6 million pounds of food in 2024. Each $5 ticket can be exchanged for a small plate, drink, or dessert at participating eateries. A printed menu with dish descriptions and a map will be provided to attendees.
The event will also feature music, a kids’ activity area, and other family-friendly attractions. This festival not only celebrates the neighborhood’s culinary diversity but also raises crucial funds for food access programs. The food bank has long been a vital resource for the South King County community.
