We’re trying a few logistics changes that will hopefully improve our distribution process. Thanks to all our volunteers, the @wanationalguard, and @americorps for helping us at the Pantry! If you are in need of food, come by the Pantry before 2:30 or visit us on another Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday between 10am and 2:30pm. If you want to learn how else to support our work, visit the link in our bio.

We know this weekend was a tough one for many people in our community. At Tukwila Pantry, we hope to bring a little bit of joy, security, and peace to everyone who comes to us in need. We’ll be open as usual this Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday!

Thank you to @foodlifeline and @pcfruit for donating 27,886 lbs. of dairy and combination boxes! They are a perfect and convenient set of staples. We are handing them out today and people are loving them!

Thanks to Starbucks Partners and the @Starbucks Foundation for recognizing how we are serving communities impacted by COVID-19. They’ve been supporting us with food donations and now with a specific grant!

We’re highlighting a couple more small gifts we got today! We have a lot of aspiring artists who come through our queue, and we have people who, although they can’t give much, want to show their appreciation as much they can. We serve as a vital portion of the safety net for our community, and that safety net supports everyone! Thank you to all who support our mission - you keep up our morale and make it possible for us to do our work!

Here’s a Throwback Thursday to just a few weeks

Here’s a Throwback Thursday to just a few weeks ago. It used to be we’d fill up these fridges with food for clients to shop through. Now, of course, we are an entirely “drive thru and walk up” food bank in an effort to enforce social distancing. Thanks to all those volunteers, staff, and partners who have made this dramatic transformation possible!

Neither rain nor wind nor gloom of night stays our

Neither rain nor wind nor gloom of night stays our volunteers from handing out food! The rain got our tents a little wet, but we kept on working! Thanks to all who support our mission!

At Tukwila Pantry, we get a lot of gifts. Whether it’s an anonymous donation to our Get-a-Truck campaign, a neighbor bringing masks for our volunteers or clients, or the smiles on people’s faces, we appreciate every bit of support! But we had to highlight this very special gift we got from one inspiring artist - a little girl who was waiting in line for food on Tuesday. It warmed our hearts! Especially our director’s, who hails from down under! Thank you to everyone who supports our mission and to all those who seek our services.

We handed out books on Saturday! Thanks to @katri

We handed out books on Saturday! Thanks to @katrinadohn for arranging! Now, kids and adults alike will have some entertaining reads during this quarantine.

Our truck was featured on KIRO7 and Tukwila Blog this week! Thanks to everyone in the community for bringing the spotlight to our biggest need. Check out the video at bit.ly/2yGNaSJ, the KIRO7 article at bit.ly/2STAIWK, or the article on Tukwila Blog at bit.ly/2WHBTth.

This is our current truck, broken down. With an astounding 575,000 miles, it’s quickly approaching its retirement age. With all the extra need that we have in the immunity, we can’t run the risk of an irreparable problem leaving hundreds of households hungry. That’s why some donors have stepped up to help us buy a new truck, but we need to raise the matching funds to actually buy a truck! We’re excited to be partnering with @tukwilachildrensfoundation on this urgent campaign. Visit their page at tukwilachildrensfoundation.org/get-a-truck-2020, consider making a contribution, and be sure to share with your friends!
