Since becoming a nonprofit in 2019, Edmonds Food Bank has been dedicated to serving our community with dignity and efficiency. Last year, we provided essential nourishment to 158,378 individuals.
Through our online ordering system, customers can personalize their grocery orders and schedule convenient pick-up times during our distribution hours. Our amazing volunteers make it possible to provide groceries to 12 households every 10 minutes during distribution.
In addition to our on-site operations, we extend our reach through strategic partnerships with community organizations such as the Washington West African Center, Latino Educational Training Institute, and Korean Community Service Center. These collaborations allow us to host off-site distributions focusing on culturally relevant food choices, contributing to a holistic approach to addressing food insecurity.
Recognizing the challenges faced by seniors and individuals with limited transportation, our volunteer drivers deliver customized orders to over 200 households every week. We actively engage with low-income senior housing facilities, assisting residents in completing online food orders and ensuring access to vital resources.
In Washington, 1 in every 11 individuals experiences food insecurity. We believe that no one should have to decide between necessities like food, housing, and medication. Join us in our mission to alleviate food insecurity and create a more nourished and connected community in the greater Edmonds area.
