Mariners help Greenwood Food Bank

A couple of Mariners players stopped by the Greenwood Food Bank last week to help volunteers sort and give out food to clients. That’s infielder Russell Branyan on the left and pitcher Brandon Morrow on the right, boxing up groceries.

 Here they’re sorting fresh produce.

They joined student leaders from the Seattle Action Team for a day to Strike Out Hunger at the food bank at 9747 Greenwood Ave. N. The Greenwood Food Bank is one of two food banks run by Volunteers of America Western Washington, and together they serve more than 200 families a day. They also operate a fresh produce home delivery program to more than 160 home-bound seniors a month.
