FamilyWorks Family Resource Center & Food Bank

FamilyWorks connects neighbors and families to nourishing food, essential resources, and a supportive community, so people can build resiliency to meet life's challenges. FamilyWorks advocates with dignity, inclusion and empowerment. 

FamilyWorks has two food banks- the Wallingford Food Bank and the Greenwood Food Bank. They are places where people can select groceries from food distributed by Northwest Harvest, Food Lifeline, collected from area grocery stores, community groups and neighbors. Each year the Food Bank serves over 47,800 bags of groceries to individuals and families. Through collaborations with community groups such as Food Security for Children and WIC, we are able to provide supplemental infant formula, baby food, diapers and other baby supplies. Volunteers conduct food drives in order to stock food for those with special dietary needs. We serve people residing in zip codes 98103, 98107, 98115 and 98133. The FamilyWorks Resource Center is a gathering place for people in the community to share information and support. The Resource Center provides parenting classes, playgroups, after-school tutoring, life skills classes, support groups and employment resources. Its program goals include helping families to: promote early learning and prepare children for school, develop positive family relationships and family management skills, increase connections with neighbors and peers, and develop economic self-sufficiency.
