Renton, Washington is buzzing with excitement as the Seahawks have announced their plans to host a significant food drive during their November 24 game against the Arizona Cardinals at Lumen Field. This initiative, in partnership with KING 5 and Safeway, aims to make a substantial impact on hunger relief in the region.

Bringing Hope Through Donations

Lumen Field will be a hub of generosity with 12 donation bins strategically placed outside the stadium. These bins can be found in front of all entry gates, making it incredibly convenient for fans to drop off their non-perishable donation items. KING 5 will be live from Gate 3 starting at 9:00 a.m., featuring appearances by Seahawks Legends, Blitz, Blue Thunder, and Seahawks Dancers. Gates will open at different times - 10:00 a.m. for Ticketmaster Tailgate, 10:30 a.m. for Club & Suites, and 11:30 a.m. for the main gates. The kickoff is set for 1:25 p.m., providing ample time for fans to contribute.

Suggested Donation Items

Peanut Butter is in high demand as it provides a crucial source of protein. Canned Proteins like tuna, chicken, and beans are also essential to help meet nutritional needs. Mac & Cheese is a favorite among many and can be a comforting meal for those in need. Canned Fruits and Vegetables add variety to the diet and are a great source of vitamins. Cooking Essentials such as flour, sugar, oats, and cooking oil are necessary for those looking to prepare their own meals. Granola Bars offer a quick and easy snack option. Milk (shelf stable) is another item that can be a lifesaver. Personal Hygiene Items are often overlooked but are crucial for the well-being of those facing food insecurity.All these donations will go to Northwest Harvest, the state's largest hunger relief agency. Northwest Harvest distributes food to every county in Washington, working with a statewide network of 400 food banks, meal programs, and schools. It also collaborates with partners across the region to address the root causes of hunger.

Support Beyond the Stadium

Fans who are unable to attend the game can still show their support by donating online. Additionally, making a donation at any Safeway or Albertsons store checkout stand funds grocery cards distributed to hunger relief agencies throughout Washington. This shows that the impact of the food drive extends far beyond the stadium walls.Since 2001, Home Team Harvest has raised over 100 million meals. This is a remarkable achievement that highlights the power of community support. For more information on Home Team Harvest, click here.
