Walk-In food bank:
When visiting, please bring a photo I.D. with you each time. On your first visit with us, please also bring a current proof of address (mail received at the address within the past 30 days, rent receipt, utility bill, cable bill, etc).
Proof of address requirement waived for those who are currently unsheltered.
Come to the food bank when it is convenient for you. We don’t run out of food during the week, so it isn’t necessary to arrive before we open for the day or earlier in the week.

Tuesday 2 pm – 8 pm
Wednesday Closed
Thursday 2 pm – 8 pm
Friday 11 am – 4 pm
Home Delivery:
Do you live in our service area, but find it physically difficult to get to the food bank and bring home the food you need? Does your advancing age, medical condition, or physical disability prevent you from accessing the food bank at all? Do you not have a family member, friend, or neighbor who could come in to the food bank and shop on your behalf? If this is the case, our home delivery service might be able to help you out.
Pack for Kids:
he importance of proper nutrition for a growing child is well documented. Hungry kids have decreased attention spans, increased behavioral problems, and more school absences due to sickness. Simply put, hungry kids can’t learn as well, and when they fall behind academically as young children, it is very hard to ever catch-up. Free meals in school certainly help, but they are not enough. After all, school is only Monday through Friday.
Food Stamp Enrollment:
Every month, thousands of Seattle families struggle with access to healthy food. If you’re one of those families, we can make that struggle a little easier. While the food we offer in our walk-in food bank can make a huge difference, we know that there are other important resources that can help you too. Food stamps are one of these resources, and we can help you sign up for them.
We are always closed on the following holidays – New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day plus the Friday afterward, and Christmas Day
