Seattle food bank that serves hundreds searches for new home

A small, but essential, Belltown food bank has been serving their community for decades, but soon they'll have to find a new home.

“You could go down and ask many people, ‘Have you ever heard of Puget Sound Labor Agency?’ And they say, ‘What is that?’” said Sam Sim, executive director. “We're a food bank.”

Three days a week, people line up in an alley at 2800 1st Ave. in the Labor Temple Building to receive donations of fresh and frozen food.

On Wednesday evening, the Puget Sound Labor Agency distributed turkeys, chickens, green beans and stuffing.

The nonprofit, a partner of Northwest Harvest, has been providing meals for 45 years, but soon they’ll have to leave their longtime space, and they don’t yet know where they’ll go.
