Team Seattle JACL participated in the annual the Walk for Rice this past weekend at Seward Park in South Seattle. The Walk for Rice raises funds for the Asian Counseling and Referral Service (ACRS) food bank, one of the largest in Washington state and the only food bank that regularly offers Asian food staples. The 2015 overall Walk for Rice goal was $250,000. Team Seattle Co-Captains, Katie and Kristen Cunningham, met their team recruiting goals of ten members and raised almost $2,000. (end)
