Rainier Valley Food Bank

Join Us in Funding Food Access for All

This season, we're renewing our commitment to serve as a safe and accessible resource for everyone in our community, regardless of housing status, income, zip code, gender identity, or immigration status. The only questions we ask empower our neighbors to make choices in the food and resources they provide for their families to nourish and improve their lives. 

We are for and by the community, coming together with the understanding that there is no reason why anyone in our community should be hungry. The diversity represented throughout South Seattle is what makes our neighborhoods so special, filling our streets and our food bank with the vibrance of more than 60 unique languages. 

If you're looking for something tangible and positive to do, we ask you to join us as we continue to strengthen our support for our marginalized neighbors, rooting ourselves in what we've always known — we are only as healthy as the most vulnerable among us. 

When you give, you invest in expanding food access for all and joining alongside our community in solidarity. 

Mission

Our mission is to nourish with great food, empower with knowledge, and serve with compassion.

Vision

A hunger-free South Seattle.

About Rainier Valley Food Bank

We don’t just want to hand guests a bag of food. We provide guests space to make choices in the food they provide for their family, and then we ask them what else they may need. We can’t do any of this without collaboration. From our service partners who join alongside us to provide wrap-around support, to the volunteers who work in partnership with us, and the local farms who provide our produce — ending hunger will take all of us. 

As the primary emergency food resource in Seattle’s most racially and economically diverse neighborhood, we are a low-barrier provider, ensuring that anyone can access our services regardless of housing status, income, zip code, or immigration status.
