I am happy to announce that Ballard Food Bank has identified our new home!

Operating a food bank is hard work. Luckily, our amazing Ballard Food Bank community helps us every step of the way to bring food and hope to our neighbors. One of the people who makes our work possible is Board Member Jen Doak.

The recent KOMO documentary Seattle is Dying has started a flurry of articles and comments about homelessness in our city. In many Seattle neighborhoods, deepening poverty is obvious. People are sleeping outside, struggling without a home. KOMO’s reporting focused on homeless people grappling with substance use disorders and mental health issues.  But the truth of homelessness is much more complex.

Ballard Food Bank recently said au revoir to two special staff members, Peggy and Johnny. Now we’ve brought on two new food justice advocates ready to fill their shoes.

We are celebrating two very special staff members who recently moved on from the Ballard Food Bank.

At Ballard Food Bank, we believe hope is a basic human right. As a vital part of this community, you can help Ballard Food Bank make this possible.  We need your support to provide food and hope to our neighbors.  Your gift to the Ballard Food Bank helps us stock healthy, nutritious food and strengthen our neighbors’ well-being through our Hub.
