Ballard Food Bank says goodbye to Seattle Turkey Trot after 15 years
The Turkey Trot Tradition in Seattle is trotting no more. The Ballard Food Bank, which has hosted the Seattle Turkey Trot for 15 years, said it's time to say goodbye.
"We just decided there were other things we could do to raise funds that didn't take so much time and energy away from our mission," said Colleen Martinson with the Ballard Food Bank.
While the trot was a six-figure fundraiser for the organization Martinson said logistically it was complicated and took a lot of resources during one of the food bank's busiest times of year.
"People are doing [a turkey trot] on that day because they're about to eat a whole bunch of food. We're thinking about the people that are having a harder time accessing that food," said Martinson.
Inflation will likely have an impact this Thanksgiving. The market research firm IRI released data Tuesday, which estimates a Thanksgiving meal will cost 13.5% more than in 2021. The research says pies are 20.3% more expensive and meat 8.1%.
