For over 30 years, Seattle chef Tom Douglas, as heard on Xվ Radio’s “Seattle’s Kitchen”, has worked closely with Food Lifeline, a local hunger relief organization, in an effort to feed those in need in Western Washington. 97% of Food Lifeline’s revenue is directed to distributing food to many local food banks. Last year, more than 778,000 people visited a food bank or meal program supported by Food Lifeline.

On August 14th, join Chef Tom and Dahlia Lounge at the 5th Annual Tom Douglas Lawn Party & Croquet Tournament, a fundraiser for Food Lifeline. The event will be held at the South Lake Union Discovery Center from 1-5pm.

The team at Tom Douglas Restaurants is striving to exceed $150,000 for Food Lifeline and they need your help! This total is built by the generosity of incredible sponsors, spectators and our croquet teams. Please visit for tickets, team registration and information.
