SEATTLE - Even before the COVID pandemic struck, 51% of low-income families in Seattle experienced food insecurity. That number has kept rising throughout the pandemic, with more adults losing their jobs and kids not in school for meals.
At the same time, many companies also transitioned to work-from-home models with their employees, including Seattle-based Expedia Group. Construction at the company’s new campus, completed during the pandemic, includes a new coffee shop and restaurant, now empty without employees coming to campus.

This marketplace had only opened up a couple weeks before the shutdown,” said Katherine Cheng, head of global and community impact for Expedia Group.
