Yesterday, May 13, was the 3rd month community lunch in Pike Place Market. Over 100 members of the Market community came to the Atrium kitchen for a FREE, healthy lunch! Members of the Pike Market Senior Center, volunteers at the Food Bank, teachers at the Preschool, Pike Place Market staff, and many others joined in on the fun. Thanks to the 15 number of volunteers who prepped, served, and did the dishes!

The menu featured blended asparagus soup, kale salad, tuna and white bean salad, and rhubarb compote with a hot milk sponge cake for dessert! YUM. Ingredients came from Sosio’s Produce in Pike Place Market  and Alm Hill Farm. For more photos of this month’s lunch, visit our Facebook page.
