With the combination of the rising cost of living and fixed incomes, many seniors are facing food insecurity. Approximately 47% of the participants at the Pt. Defiance ~ Ruston Senior Center live below the poverty level. With its limited food bank, in 2025 the Senior Center distributed over 20,539 pounds of food to local seniors—a 26% increase over 2024.
This year is the 6th Annual “Souper Bowl With Love” and with the Seahawks playing, it will be a remarkable celebration! Franke Tobey Jones and Philanthropy would like to fill 100 take home meal bags with soup, crackers, and a valentine to distribute at the Senior Center before the big game.
We will gladly do the shopping! To sponsor a bag for $15, please contact Katie Baker in Philanthropy at kbaker@franketobeyjones.com or 253.756.6327.
One bag at a time, together we can cross the finish line! Thank you
