Local Food Banks – Where to donate and how to help

Hi all,

With the prospect of SNAP benefits not having funding in November – I am hoping this subreddit can come together with suggestions for places to donate (time or money) that can help here in King County.

I’m currently in Issaquah and plan on continuing monthly donations to the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank but was thinking that the impact would go further in Seattle given the size of the community.

Listing a few that I found in a short Google Search below as a starting point, but my effort to Google this led to my assumption that others on this sub would have first-hand knowledge about which organizations are worth donating to. I’m also hoping that posting this will drive more people to donate as well connecting people with opportunities to volunteer.

I’m on and off calls for work today, so apologies in advance if I am slow to update the list based off comments; but I’m planning on adding links to any organizations people reference in an edit to this post.

Mods: please advise if this violates Rules 6 or 8. If it does, I’d ask if the mod team would consider creating a post of their own given the urgency of these cuts to a vital community program.
