  • Food and Household Support Services

    AT EDMONDS FOOD BANK, THE VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF CONTINUED TO ENGAGE WITH OUR CUSTOMERS AS WE PROVIDED FOOD, HOUSEHOLD SUPPLIES, PERSONAL PRODUCTS, AND REFERRALS TO PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. DUE TO ONGOING ECONOMIC ISSUES, HOUSEHOLD USE OF EFB REMAINS HIGH. WE OFFER IN-PERSON SHOPPING FOR THOSE WITH SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS, IN ADDITION TO OUR ONLINE, DRIVE-UP, AND DELIVERY SERVICES. WE CONTINUE OUR DELIVERY SERVICES TO SUPPORT HOUSEHOLDS OF SENIORS OR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES EACH WEEK. OUR ONLINE ORDERING SYSTEM GIVES CUSTOMERS THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE THE FOODS THEY NEED AND WANT EACH WEEK. MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS APPRECIATE THE SERVICE AS IT ENABLES THEM TO RECEIVE THEIR FOOD EFFICIENTLY AND FRIENDLY, THUS FREEING UP TIME FOR OTHER ACTIVITIES. WE HAVE CONTINUED OUR POP-UP PANTRIES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING PARTNERSHIPS WITH LATINO EDUCATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE (LETI), ST. ALBANS CHURCH, COLLEGE PLACE SCHOOLS, WASHINGTON WEST AFRICAN CENTER, AND THE KOREAN COMMUNITY SERVICES CENTER, PROVIDING SUPPORT TO INCREASING NUMBERS OF CUSTOMERS WHO CANNOT ACCESS THE FOOD BANK DUE THE RESTRICTED HOURS ALLOWED AT OUR CURRENT LOCATION. IN ADDITION, WE ADDED SUPPORT FOR THE COALITION OF HEALTH WORKERS FOR MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES, SCRIBER LAKE ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOL AND SUMMER PROGRAMS AT WASHINGTON KIDS IN TRANSITION. OVER 300 VOLUNTEERS (36,531 HOURS OF SUPPORT) COMMIT TO OUR PURPOSE ACROSS OUR 257 DISTRIBUTIONS, PROVIDING 40,561 HOUSEHOLDS (131,218 INDIVIDUALS) WITH A WEEK'S GROCERY SUPPORT.
