For eleven years, the members of the Edmonds Petanque Club have staged a fun, all-day petanque tournament to support the Edmonds Food Bank.100% of all sponsorships and all income from tournament fees, after costs have been covered, go directly to the Edmonds Food Bank, which provides critical food assistance to people in need within the greater Edmonds area. Each week, the Edmonds Food Bank supports 350 families in need, amounting to 47,000 meals distributed every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The original idea for this project was conceived by club member and prominent Edmonds citizen Dick VanHollebeke, who is featured in the accompanying photograph. The work of the annual tournament now continues in Dick’s memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
