Pedaling Relief Project delivers 300 pounds of food donated by Safeway to the North Helpline food bank

The Pedaling Relief Project (PRP) delivered 300 pounds of food donated by Safeway to the North Helpline food bank in Seattle. PRP mobilizes volunteers using bicycles and electric bikes to collect food donations from farmers markets and grocery stores. This initiative addresses food insecurity by supplying two North Helpline food banks located in Lake City and Bitter Lake. The demand for food assistance has risen in these neighborhoods, highlighting the importance of local food access organizations. PRP's efforts not only provide essential food items but also encourage sustainable practices in food distribution.

The collaborative approach engages community members, fostering a sense of responsibility towards food waste reduction. Additionally, PRP aims to raise awareness about food insecurity and promote healthy eating habits. This delivery underscores the critical role of volunteer-driven projects in enhancing food access and community support.
