Charitable Donations

Herban Feast is dedicated to being a steward of its community through a variety of charitable offerings and best practices. Our focused approached to donations has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars and hours to benefit local schools, the community where we began – West Seattle, and sustainable companies, organizations and farms.

In order to accommodate the numerous requests we receive for reduced or no‐cost catering and use of our Sodo Park event space, we’ve developed the following overview to help you be successful in your donation request.

  1. Herban Feast donates one catered event per calendar year at its Sodo Park event venue, including venue and catering not to exceed $5,000.
  2. Herban Feast will donate the use of its event venue, Sodo Park, for one event per calendar year. Value not to exceed $2,300. Please note catering service fees are not included in this donation.
