About this organization
Mission
Building a hunger-free Northeast Seattle by providing our neighbors with reliable access to healthy food and life-changing resources
About
University District Food Bank is organized to prevent hunger across Northeast Seattle neighborhoods and to help move low-income families toward self-sufficiency. The Food Bank's primary program, the walk-in food bank, supports more than 1,300 families each week during its four days of distribution. Through an innovative and award-winning grocery store styled shopping system, Food Bank customers themselves choose the healthy food they want to take home each visit. The Food Bank supplements the three-day supply of food offered to each customer with other essentials such as toiletries, baby formula, diapers and pet food (as needed). The Food Bank also helps customers make connections to important community resources such as discounted bus fare, SNAP, health insurance, voter registration, and the Seattle Public Library System. It is one of the busiest food banks in the City of Seattle. In addition to the walk-in food bank, the Food Bank offers several programs to provide food to individuals and families in the community who are unable to come to the Food Bank's physical location. The home delivery program supports 160 homebound seniors and severely disabled individuals each week. Teams of volunteers bring these families customized food boxes every Wednesday. Packs for Kids, which is the school backpack program, provides 600 children in grades K through 12 from 14 nearby schools with healthy and easy-to-prepare meals, snacks, and drinks for the weekend when school meals are not available. The Food Bank operates a rooftop garden called Rooftop Roots. Through a mix of staff and volunteers, the Food Bank grows produce year-round in 2000 square feet of raised bed gardens. The produce is made available to the Food Bank's customers. In collaboration with the library next door, the Food Bank also provides educational, youth-oriented gardening events to customer families and to those in nearby neighborhoods.
