West Seattle Food Bank merges with Helpline to streamline help to those in need
For many years the West Seattle Helpline (WSH) and West Seattle Food Bank (WSFB) have been strong partners, supporting each other in a variety of ways to provide basic needs and services to individuals and families in our community.
Beginning in early 2019, WSH and WSFB came together to actively explore ways to better serve our community. Through these conversations, we identified service crossover, a strong community focus, and a desire to increase capacity. We are pleased to announce that these discussions have led the Executive Directors and the boards of directors of each agency to a decision to merge our services into one organization.

OP-ED: An unconventional time in politics; Democrats will need to hit the ground flying by naming a VP early
by Patrick Robinson
Never before have we seen such an unconventional and unprecedented Presidential election. Mr. Trump's supporters have amassed more than $300 million for his re-election. But the Democrats are still working out their differences in debates, and a forthcoming series of primaries.
Clearly they are at a disadvantage.
The shorter timeline means less time to raise money, less time to campaign and other hurdles to clear just to get in the race.
The convention process put on both parties has been an anachronism for decades with the outcome known months before and the “platform” so many battle over carrying no more power than a new year’s resolution.
