Rainier Valley Food Bank
We nourish with good food, empower with knowledge, & serve
with compassion. We are the only food bank in the heart of
Seattle's lowest income & most diverse neighborhoods.
While the majority of our guests come from the greater Rainier
Valley, we feed anyone in need of food, from any neighborhood.
Here’s what we did in 2017 ...
-
158 Distribution & Delivery Days, Groceries to 5,373 Households,
66,771 Food Bank Visits,1,550,281 Meals
Grocery DistributionWe opened our doors twice weekly for guests to shop & select
their own groceries. Up to thirty volunteers made each distribution
day possible, from processing donated food, to ensuring guests
were treated with dignity & respect. We hired a full time Food
Bank Coordinator to give this massive weekly undertaking
the full support it deserves.
-
7,270 Deliveries, 189 Households, 245 People Fed, 43,620 Meals
Home Delivery We delivered groceries every Thursday to sick, elderly, & disabled
people in South Seattle. Dedicated volunteers helped pack &
deliver the food to the doorsteps of homebound neighbors.
For some delivery recipients, our volunteers were
the only smiling face they saw all week.
-
1,809 Backpacks of Food, 5 Schools, 10,854 Meals
Backpack Program We provided bags of nutritious food for at-risk
students attending South Seattle schools. This food
sustained their and their families' dietary needs over
the weekend in the absence of school breakfast & lunch.
Many of these students were either
homeless or living in temporary housing situations.
We allowed students to select their own foods instead
of providing a set menu each week.

8,251 To-Go Bags, 10,983 Meals
To-Go Bags We distributed ready-to-eat meal bags, 5 days a week
for people without access to a kitchen to prepare their own food.
This program is vital to Seattle's increasing homeless
& transient population.

Supported 189 individuals with housing, medical and dental care,
job placement, and much more
360 Support We launched our new 360 Program to help guests troubleshoot
life circumstances that contribute to their need for food.
We hired a full-time Social Worker to meet with guests in
private, receiving guidance & resources to find
greater stability for themselves & their families.
