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.

Food Drive @ QFC on Rainier and McClellan, 10am - 2pm

Soak up some of this new-found sunshine while supplying your food bank with non-perishables. During this time of the year, our non-perishable donations slow to a trickle. Let's rectify that, shall we? Tomorrow! Saturday, May 12th. Arrive at RVFB @ 9am for an orientation or just show up at the QFC on Rainier & McClellan @ 10am! 


Not available tomorrow? We hold food drives every Wednesday & Saturday. Sign-up Here and bring your friends! 

Food Drives can integrate nicely with business, faith group or school events. RVFB will drop off and pick up donation bins and supplies anywhere in the Rainier Valley. Donation bins can also "live" at your business or community organization-- we will pick up when they are full. Email elise@rvfb.org to arrange!
