Mormons and Seattle-area Food Banks Unite in 'Yes We Can' Project

Yes We Can, a community canning project in the Seattle area, has found a creative solution to feed the hungry.

Elisa Jaffe of KOMO 4 Newsrecently reported that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saintshas opened up its local cannery — normally used for private welfare needs — to help with the project. To date, Yes We Can has produced thousands of canned goods that will help people throughout South King County.

"[This project has] been a blessing because I know this food is going to people in real need," said Bill Lawrenson, manager of the bishops’ storehouse and cannery in Kent, Washington.
