Since the 1940s, the Food Bank at St. Mary’s has been providing groceries in the Central District to anyone who turns out. Today, it provides weekly necessities to any Seattle resident, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. There’s no income restriction, as they get gobs of donations from local bakers. But people of means should consider putting on an apron and helping out for a spell while you’re there. After a few hours, that bread will taste better than any other loaf in town. CHRIS KORNELIS 611 20th Ave. S., 324-7100 x18, thefbsm.org
