On Wednesday morning Sam Osborne, the executive director of the Rainier Valley Food Bank, arrived at the center only to discover that potatoes, onions and canned goods--enough to feed 1500...more people--had been stolen. And while the crime was tragic, especially so close to Thanksgiving, the food bank now has even more food than before, thanks to generous donations from all over the community. Neighbors, local businesses and even other organizations, have all donated in response to the theft. PCC dropped off $1000 worth of groceries and the Union Gospel Mission is making a delivery to Rainier Valley now. (The video above, by KOMO Newsradio's Travis Mayfield, shows Union Gospel's President Herb Pfiffner talking about the cintribution)  "The outpouring of community support has been amazing," Osborne said.
