Show Pony Boutique Offers Discount For Donations Of Non-Perishable Foods

Help make this winter less cold, bitter and hungry… Donate to the local food bank! Photo provided by Show Pony Boutique

From now through December 24th, the Show Pony Boutique (the one right at the point of the Center of the Universe,) is offering a 15% discount on purchases with the donation of three or more cans of non-perishable foods to the FamilyWorks Food Bank.

The boutique has marvelous clothing, jewelry, accessories and gift items available, in person and through the Show Pony website (click here.)  Many of their items are eco-friendly and American made.  A proud distributor of many fine clothing lines including Prairie Underground, the Frock Shop and Revival Ink, Show Pony has also proved itself as a strong supporter of our community as a whole.  Show Pony is participating in the Roamin’ Holiday Bazaar, and hosting this food drive for FamilyWorks and its growing clientele of families in need.

Each day during the COVID pandemic, far too many of our neighbors face hunger and a struggle to meet their most basic needs.  Some sobering statistics, provided by Show Pony:

  • One million Washington residents visited a food bank in the past year (and that number is growing)
  • 1 in 6 Washington kids live in a household that faces challenges to putting enough food on the table
  • Washington State ranks 10th in the country in overall wealth, and 34th in food insecurity
  • 1 in 3 families struggle to secure enough diapers to keep their baby clean, dry and healthy
Show Pony has gift boxes available, through its on-line shop, for friends, family or sending to front-line workers! Find out more on the Shop Pony website

FamilyWorks helps individuals and families find the basic items of survival – food, diapers, and clothing.  During this critical moment in our community we all need to do what we can to help one another, and resources like FamilyWorks know how to help in a safe, socially-distanced and COVID-friendly way.  Please consider making a donation, either directly to FamilyWorks, or through the Show Pony boutique (and get a discount as instant karma!)  Think about how:

  • $5 buys one day of groceries for an otherwise impoverished household
  • $10 covers the cost of shipping a care package to a front-line healthcare worker (through the Show Pony website)
  • $25 buys groceries for 5 days
  • $75 buys two-weeks of groceries, or a month of diapers
  • $150 buys two-months of diapers, or a month of groceries for a household
