Although our offices are in Seattle and we operate the Cherry St. Food Bank, the state's largest food bank, we also collect and distribute food to approximately 280 hunger programs throughout the state and offer phone referrals and information regarding hunger programs. But inside the doors, you can see the good will and heart of an entire community.
Forklifts move busily back and forth through the huge building.
One is unloading a truckload of donated food from a food drive or regular produce donor. Another is unloading the latest shipment of rice purchased to supplement the donated food. Another is loading the pickups and vans waiting to take food back to one of 280 member hunger programs. Still another is loading a semi trailer for a long haul to one of our satellite warehouses. Just as Building 50 is our center for food distribution, this section of the site is a center for learning more about our statewide services.
