The local Queen Anne Medical Weight Loss donated 600 pounds of food to the Ballard Food Bank on Thursday, May 26, in honor of the first 600 pounds lost by clinic clients. And according to the Ballard Food Bank executive director Nancy McKinney, the bulk donation came a time when it was very much needed – donations typically come in during the holiday season and taper off after, “But food is always needed by people in our neighborhood. And it’s been a particularly difficult year,” Nancy says.
“The food drive was a win-win project,” QAMQL program director Brian Grev said in a press release. “We got the idea from one of our patients who collected 100 pounds of food from friends and neighbors to celebrate her considerable success – now over 100 pounds lost.”
