In addition to welcoming more than 10 million visitors a year, Seattle's Pike Place Market is also a thriving neighborhood home to more than 400 residents, many of whom are low-income seniors. The Pike Place Market Foundation supports social services within the Market and greater downtown Seattle community, including the Pike Market Senior Center and Food Bank, Pike Market Childcare and Preschool, and Pike Market Clinic.

In this image, manager and cook Bill Stalder serves a customer at the Market Cafe, a non-profit restaurant in the Sanitary Market Building at the Pike Place Market that catered to low-income elderly, and gave discounts to qualifying seniors.
