About the West Seattle Food Bank
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- Clients have full choice of what food to take home, with meat, dairy, fresh produce, and plentiful dry goods available every day.
Mobile Food Bank Services - 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.
Backpack Program - Providing school children at risk of hunger with a "backpack" of food weekly, including six kid-friendly meals. We are working with the school district to ensure that children are still getting nutritious food for the weekend while they are learning remotely.
Pet Pantry - Distributing donated pet food and other accessories to families we serve who need help taking care of their furry friends.
Helpline - Emergency financial assistance program providing help with rent, utility, and move in deposits to prevent the financial spiral that may lead to homelessness. Free bus tickets to those who financially qualify with access to transportation to medical appointments, work, school, the grocery store and other vital services.
Clothesline - A free clothing store, the only one of its kind in West Seattle, providing basic attire, professional wear and school clothing for infants, children and adults. Located at 4425 41st Ave. SW with 10 am - 1 pm hours on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Community Connections - Helping the families we serve access additional information and services from dozens of partner organizations. Our volunteer-staffed Hotline serves as a hub to find resources to no-cost public and private services, including food assistance and healthcare.
Baby & Child Corner - Providing formula, baby food, diapers, car seats, strollers, toys, clothes & other accessories to parents of infants and toddlers who need a little help through our partner WestSide Baby and other donors. Because of COVID-19 the Baby & Child Corner is offering limited service until further notice. Diapers and formula are being distributed through our daily distribution.
