Edmonds Food Bank launches $12K campaign for Big Game Week

The Edmonds Food Bank is kicking off Big Game Week with the launch of “12,000 Goal,” a community fundraising campaign aimed at raising $12,000 to support its weekly food distribution programs.

The Seahawks and the New England Patriots will battle it out in the Super Bowl Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, California.

“The campaign serves as a celebration of community and the big game, bringing neighbors together around shared excitement and local impact,” said food bank spokesperson Kelli Lewis

Community members can make a $12, $120, or $1,200 donation. To amplify impact, Edmonds-based kitchen studio Table for 12 will match all donations dollar-for-dollar up to $12,000, doubling the community’s support.

A donation of $12 will help the food bank purchase eggs for 15 customers; $120 will purchase fuel for one of their trucks to pick up 12,000 pounds of food in one week; and a donation of $1,200 will purchase a pallet of rice.

“As 12s, Big Game Week is a moment of unity for our community,” Lewis said. “This campaign invites us to channel that shared energy and sense of unity into the work we do at the food bank, turning our collective excitement into meaningful impact for our neighbors.”

Local restaurants, businesses, and residents are encouraged to share the donation link at watch parties and gatherings throughout the week to help reach the $12,000 goal. Download a 11x17 poster or an 8.5x11 poster to help spread the word.
