Nourishing and Strengthening individuals and families through emergency food and support services.

"The staff and volunteers make me feel welcome and help meet the needs of my family." A food bank customer

 The FamilyWorks Food Bank provides weekly groceries to people in need of food who live in the following zip codes:  98103, 98115, 98107 and 98133.  

We work to also make available the following products: infant and baby products (and many free baby supplies through the resource center), “no-cook” bags for people who are homeless,  hygiene supplies,  diabetic and low-salt items, and as supplies are available meet specific requests for vegan, vegetarian, high protein, culturally specific and other products.

First time customers are asked to bring a photo ID and proof of address.

The food bank is open:

Tuesdays  12pm-2pm
Thursdays 2pm-5pm
Fridays 11am-1pm
The Third Saturday of the month from 10am-12pm

Located at 1501 N. 45th St, you can find us by getting directions or taking the bus 44 or 16.

Volunteers are critical to the operation of the Food Bank.  Over 135 volunteers contributed 3,690 hours to the food bank.  Through the product deliveries of Northwest Harvest and Food Lifeline and the partnerships of local stores and people who organize food drives on our behalf, we help to increase the nutritional status of 2750 people each year.

Do you have some great ideas on how we can get the community involved in generating food for the food bank?  We'd love to have you hear from you at any time.  Contact Ava Dowell at avad@familyworksseattle.org.  You can help!
