Making A Difference Foundation (MADF) has received a donation of $4,000 from the Huisking Foundation for general support of its Eloise’s Cooking Pot Food Bank.
The Eloise’s Cooking Pot Food Bank has a vision and goal to end hunger in Pierce and South King Counties by removing all access barriers to healthy and culturally relevant food. All food provided to those in need is given away for free, so this funding will help buy this food. For every dollar donated, the food bank can provide five (5) meals.
Ahndrea Blue, MADF’s President/CEO says, “We are grateful for this $4,000 donation, especially around the holidays, as we see even more people coming in for the food they need. The necessity has only been increasing within the community, and every dollar makes a difference.”The Eloise’s Cooking Pot Food Bank serves the Eastside Tacoma area with onsite food and food box delivery throughout Pierce and South King Counties. It is located at 3543 E. McKinley Ave, Tacoma with service from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For more information about the program, visit MADF’s website at www.themadf.org or call 253-212-2778.
