We distribute food to people of all ages without judgement FUNdraising Pages for this nonprofit (Show All) Create a FUNdraising Page for this nonprofit Description Federal Way Senior Center has operated for nearly 45 years as a 501c3 non-profit member association serving South King County residents. We provide a comfortable place where people can receive food at our Food Bank and Nutritional Meal Program, engage in educational information, social activities, computer classes, pinochle, bingo, live music, holiday celebrations, excursions, games, exercise and the opportunity to form mutually-supporting friendships. During COVID-19 we have been open helping seniors, veterans and anyone in need with social services, community resources and referrals. Our Food Bank has remained open on Mondays and Thursdays. Our new curbside model features participants staying in their vehicles and volunteers wearing face masks and social distancing, loading cars with bakery, dairy, meat, produce, canned and dried goods. The Federal Way Senior Center is a partner agency of Food Lifeline and Certified in Grocery Rescue. The funds raised will be used for operational expenses, scholarships, facility repairs, maintenance and supplies so we can continue to provide a warm and comfortable atmosphere in our log cabin clubhouse. It also will be used to help maintain our Food Bank and Nutritional Meal Programs that provide food to low income seniors, veterans, caregivers, families with children, elderly, individuals, disabled, homeless and other needy individuals. The meals and food they receive at the center may be their only meal that day. By coming to the Federal Way Senior Center/Food Bank for food the clients not only save money on food but they can save money to help pay their medical, electric, utilities and rent bills. Many of our clients do not have family and would be alone without the center. We provide a social environment and information about community resources and events. We are seeing an increase in the number of people needing food and coming on a regular basis. We also transport and deliver surplus food to SHAG Senior Housing, Senior and Veterans housing facilities, King County HUD low income housing facilities, Missions and Churches that feed needy and homeless individuals. The Federal Way Senior Center/SKC Food Bank is very fortunate to receive donations of breads/pastry, meat. canned/dry goods, dairy and produce from Food Lifeline, Trader Joe's, Costco, Twin Lakes Safeway, Military Road Safeway, WinCo, Fred Meyer and other donors. Volunteers pick up items 7 days per week. Our Food Bank is open Monday and Thursday mornings from 9:00am to 12:00pm serving over 3000 individuals per month. Following the Dept of Public Health COVID-19 Guidelines for phase 4 opening we will offer our breakfast and lunch program Monday through Friday starting at 9:00am. Clients will have access to the continental breakfast buffet consisting of bread, pastries, cereal, fruits, vegetables and beverages. At 11:30 am we serve a hot, nutritionally-balanced lunch menu that includes soup, sandwiches and other entrees. If clients have dietary restrictions we accommodate their needs. The majority of our clients are low income according to HUD guidelines. The meal program provides basic food to people in need who live in South King County (SKC). Many are people who are often not capable of preparing well-balanced meals for themselves. When we have leftover food we allow our clients to take home a meal, thus expanding the reach of the program. We normally serve 150 - 250 people per week in this capacity. On special event days and holiday celebrations we serve over 100 meals per day. More than 60 volunteers work a total of over 2000 hours per month to serve those in need at our Center. Volunteers run the programs including senior exercise classes, computer classes, live music and dancing, jam sessions, pinochle, line dancing, bingo, lunch and learn speakers, presentations and excursions. Volunteers serve as waiters, servers, bus tables and expediters who help get the food served promptly. Food Bank volunteers pick up donated food, load and unload food, help the customers, deliver food to low-income housing and staff the Food Bank. The Center welcomes South King County seniors, veterans, caretakers, families with children, individuals and needy people with its cadre of devoted volunteers that reaches out to the greater community with a variety of programs and services. The Center offers seniors, veterans and other members of our community a rich array of recreational, learning and service-leadership opportunities. Functioning always as a place where seniors come to play, learn and serve.
