In fact, the Market demonstrates how the vitality of our city is linked to the well-being of our most vulnerable citizens. Because you care for our community, more than 11,000 lives were transformed this past year through housing, healthcare, healthy food and child care at Pike Place Market. Although we’ve experienced 32 years of success, it’s clear there is more work ahead of us—today in our city more than 1,000 frail seniors live on the streets and families can’t afford fresh, healthy food for their children. We have the opportunity to do more. My favorite new addition to The Market Foundation over the last year has been the launch of the Food Access Project which helps all of our neighbors have better access the fresh produce found in the Market. The project includes not only access to the produce itself, but also to cooking class, our new garden, and community meals. We have all learned something from this project and I encourage you to stop by the Urban Garden, adjacent to Maximilien’s patio, next time you are here. On the horizon, Seattle prepares for the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the redevelopment of the central waterfront, Pike Place Market has the opportunity to complete the 40-year vision of the historic district. This expanded waterfront-facing “MarketFront” will reflect the Market’s mission and provide more of what we love: local farmers, live musicians, small businesses, art and specialty goods, plus much-needed housing for low-income seniors and community space where we can address emerging needs. I look forward to sharing our plans to build a new Neighborhood Center on the MarketFront over the next year as it will give us the ability to expand and enhance the community services that we already provide in downtown Seattle. In fact, each one of you will have the opportunity to join us over the next year on a very special campaign to build the MarketFront. I guarantee that you will want to “own a little piece of Pike Place”—Stay tuned for the launch of this exciting campaign in November 2014. By giving to The Market Foundation YOU make stories like the ones in this report possible. The difference we make Lillian Hochstein together is more than just a day in someone’s life, we are changing a community.
