The West Seattle Food Bank is committed to providing food security and community connections to our neighbors in need.  This is provided through our ongoing programs:  

Food Distribution- The West Seattle Food Bank offers a shopping style distribution method for our facility based distribution to meet the needs of the diverse population that we serve.  In our shopping area families stroll the isles with a shopping cart and choose the foods that meet with their dietary needs and cultural preferences.

Mobile Food Bank & Home Delivery Programs Mobile Food Bank sets up an off-site distribution weekly in the lobbies of four locations for the disabled, elderly and others not able to make it to the food bank or we deliver a bag of groceries directly to their homes through our Home Delivery Program.

Backpack Program - Providing school children at risk of hunger with a "backpack" of food, including six kid-friendly meals, to ensure they have nutritious food for the weekend.

Pet Pantry - Distributing donated pet food and other accessories to families who need help taking care of their furry friends.

Baby & Child Corner - Distributing formula, baby food, diapers, car seats, strollers, toys, furniture, clothes & other accessories to parents of infants and toddlers who need help.

The Bookcase - Providing the children and adults we serve with free, donated books and services to encourage healthy reading habits.

Community Connections - Helping the families we serve access additional information and services from dozens of partner organizations.
