2017 Holiday Sharing Campaign

a social media sharing campaign to support the Ballard Food Bank
#sharingswansons

The holidays are all about family, friends, fun, and sharing, and we hope we can be a part of your holiday traditions this year. 

Share your favorite photos of this years' Swansons-related holiday fun and traditions on Instagram or Twitter using #sharingswansons. 
We'll join in the holiday spirit of sharing by donating one food item to the Ballard Food Bank for every photo posted
November 21-December 18, 2017. Plus, at the end of the sharing campaign, three lucky participants will win Swansons' gift bags filled with fabulous prizes! 

Note: if you prefer not to participate in the campaign but would still like to support the Ballard Food Bank, we are happy to accept non-perishable food items here at Swansons Nursery during the campaign period. There will be a donation bin by our model train.
