FOOD BANK NEWS
Huge Delivery
We received a large delivery of food today, 30 April 2026, from Food Lifeline - 4,488 pounds total. While about 25% of this was our regular order for May 2, the balance was a special delivery of extra food. Island County is one of a few counties that historically has received less food than other areas. Food Lifeline is sending extra food to make sure our families receive an equitable amount.
Many thanks to Alan, Cindy, Chuck, John, Elaine, Becky, Angela and Debbie W for unloading and storing all this food in record time.
