The Suburban Times reported today that two Metro Parks Tacoma attractions, Point Defiance Zoo and Northwest Trek, are collecting non-perishable food for the Emergency Food Network. In return, they’re offering a 50 percent discount on adult and children’s admissions through November 19.

To get the discount on admission, bring two or more non-perishable items to the entrance gate per person.

Last year, the zoo and Northwest Trek collected 3,691 pounds of food – enough to feed eight families of four three meals a day for a whole month.Northwest Trek
