Local business Krav Maga Seattle is hosting a food drive for the Queen Anne Food Bank (QAFB), to ensure its pantry is filled for the Thanksgiving holiday. And, in addition to helping QAFB, your donation can also help you with KMS classes and more.
The Queen Anne Food Bank is a key charity in the community, and Krav Maga Seattle (KMS) has selected it for their efforts to give back this year. The studio is asking for donations of both food and hygiene items by Thanksgiving Day.
KMS is also offering incentives for donors to get their donations in before the holiday, and to also meet it’s goal of 500 donated items:
– Non-KMS members who donate 4 or more of the QAFB’s most-needed items will receive one week of unlimited classes for free (fine print: applies to people who have never had a one-week trial at KMS)
– For each item donated by 11/26, the donor’s name will be entered into a raffle to win $100 to spend at the KMS Store
– If KMS hits its goal of 500 items, Head Instructor Chau Le will lead a series of weapons defense classes open to all KMS members in December
If you would like to donate to the KMS food drive for the Queen Anne Food Bank, here’s their list of most-needed items:
- Canned Chili
- Canned Meat
- Canned Soup
- Canned Fruit
- Granola Bars / Energy Bars / Trail Mix
- Cold Cereal
- Jam / Jelly / Preserves
- Condiments (Mayo, Mustard, etc.)
- Hygiene Items (Deodorant, Toothpaste, Razors, toilet paper, etc.)

– Monday – Thursday: 3:30pm-9pm
