Vashon Maury Community Food Bank

 

What does that mean? It means that we provide a long-term or short-term solution that supports meeting the basic need for nutritious food to all islanders. By offering this resource to anyone in need of support we help to actively reduce food insecurity and empower our community.

 

In many cases, the food we provide allows islanders to purchase prescriptions, meet transportation needs, and/or pay utilities. This directly improves the quality of life and capacity to engage in the community as employees, volunteers, and neighbors.

 

 

 

We offer a variety of items, from fresh produce to diapers. Contrary to the stigma surrounding food bank choice, we are lucky to be able to focus on the nutritional value of what we supply. We almost always have fresh milk, eggs, and produce, frozen meats and vegetables, and other protein options like yogurt, peanut butter, and tuna.

 

In addition to that, we have dairy free options for milk (soy, almond, and sometimes rice milk), and do our best to order, request, and reserve gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and organic items for those who need them.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for supporting our community and ensuring that all islanders have access to healthy foods. Thank you for turning to us for support , because what we value most is knowing that we make life a little easier, and our community a little stronger, simply by working together.
