Whole Foods Market stores in the Seattle-area raised 10.5 tons of food through its Bag Hunger Holiday food drive held last December. The donation, collected from the Interbay, Westlake, Roosevelt Square, Bellevue and Redmond stores, was delivered last week to regional charity organization Food Lifeline.

“Whole Foods Market makes regular donations of fresh food through Food Lifeline’s Grocery Rescue program and has taken our partnership to the next level by making us the beneficiaries of the Bag Hunger Holiday food drive,” Food Lifeline Corporate Relations Manager Ashley Gammell said in a statement. “This donation from Whole Foods Market and their generous customers will allow us to provide more than 15,500 nutritious meals to hungry individuals and families in Western Washington.”

From the Food Lifeline website:

Food Lifeline is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending hunger in Western Washington. Food Lifeline makes every penny count, and 94% of the food we receive from local, state and national contributors is donated.
