We've been feeding to our hungry neighbors for more than 20 years. As one of Seattle's busiest food banks, we help nourish about 11,000 people most months. We are the only food bank in the heart of Rainier Valley, home to the nation's most ethnically diverse ZIP code and some of the city's lowest-income areas. We offer a rich variety of healthy, fresh and locally-sourced foods. Community donations account for more than half of our funding. Find out more at rvfb.org.

GiveBIG is May 15 – Three things you should know!



The Seattle Foundation’s GiveBIG event is back and we hope you’ll participate in this annual day of giving. Here are three things we want you to know:

1. Set a reminder to donate on May 15. GiveBIG is a 24-hour online fundraising event managed by The Seattle Foundation. Donations must be made between 12:01 a.m. – 11:59 p.m. on the 15th to count toward our total. Bookmark our GiveBIG page now!

2. Your donation goes further on May 15. All donations made through The Seattle Foundation's website on May 15 will receive a percentage of the matching funds (or "stretch pool"). This percentage depends on the size of the stretch pool and how much is raised in total donations on GiveBIG day.

3. Keep up to date with us on Facebook, Twitter, and our newsletter! Like, Follow, Subscribe – however you like to receive information, we hope you’ll connect with us to hear the latest about our activities and share your own stories about the food bank!

We know there are many charities in Seattle worthy of your hard-earned money and we thank you for considering Rainier Valley Food Bank! If you have questions about GiveBIG be sure to check out the Seattle Foundation website or contact us.
