America’s Car Museum (ACM) is partnering with Northwest Harvest for a month-long food drive. From Nov. 1-30, the recently opened Tacoma museum will accept food donations, with all proceeds going to Northwest Harvest – one of Washington State’s leading food bank distributors.
People can drop off non-perishable food items in the museum lobby between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily. Participants who donate two or more items will receive $2 off ACM admission, and kids (12 and under) with two or more canned goods will get in free.
Northwest Harvest has been feeding rural communities where people in need would otherwise go hungry for 45 years. They are the only nonprofit food bank distributor operating statewide in Washington, partnering with more than 350 hunger programs. Northwest Harvest partners with the Emergency Food Network to serve food programs in the Tacoma area. Last year, Northwest Harvest distributed more than 26 million pounds of food in Washington.
“One in six people in Washington struggles to get enough to eat but with the help of the community and businesses like America’s Car Museum, Northwest Harvest is able to work toward lowering those numbers and eliminating hunger,” said Shelley Rotondo, Northwest Harvest executive director.
