Notes:

The West Seattle Food Bank works to eliminate hunger in West Seattle so that no one in our community will go to bed hungry.

We not only provide nutritious food to our clients, we also work to eliminate the root causes of hunger by educating clients on nutrition, generating public awareness of hunger in our community and coordinating a range of community services for clients.

Hunger is a critical issue in West Seattle for the working poor, single parents, fixed-income seniors and children. Opened in 1981, the West Seattle Food Bank serves over 500 families each week.

In addition to providing groceries, the West Seattle Food Bank provides baby food, formula, and other infant supplies; toddler bags; pet food; personal hygiene items; books; gardening information and supplies; and voter registration. We also provide information and referrals to other social service agencies.
