THIS TRANSLATES INTO OVER 12,600 INDIVIDUAL VISITS - THE MOST VULNERABLE WOMEN, MEN, AND CHILDREN OF OUR COMMUNITY. WHILE THE RECESSION HAS ENDED, MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY STILL STRUGGLE TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE, ESPECIALLY WITH IMPLICATIONS FROM THE GLOBAL COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR CUSTOMERS WORK BUT ARE STILL UNABLE TO MEET BASIC NEEDS. LOW WAGES AND THE RISING COST OF HOUSING AND OTHER DURABLE GOODS ARE OFTEN CITED AS REASONS FOR NEEDING ASSISTANCE. SERVE THOSE WHO ARE OVERLOOKED. WHITE CENTER IS AN AMAZING PLACE. A COMMUNITY FINDING ITS WAY. A COMMUNITY THAT HAS BECOME THE ADOPTED HOME FOR REFUGEES AROUND THE WORLD WHO HAVE FLED WAR, CRUELTY, AND UNIMAGINABLE POVERTY. HOW DOES ONE BEGIN A NEW LIFE WITH NOTHING? OUR HUMBLE FOOD BANK IS A BRIDGE FROM CRISIS AND TRANSITION TO STABILITY. WE DISTRIBUTE OVER 1.7 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD EACH YEAR. IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE HAVE GROWN TO A $6 MILLION ORGANIZATION THANKS MOSTLY TO FOOD DONATIONS. IN ADDITION TO WORKING WITH FOOD LIFELINE AND NORTHWEST HARVEST, WHO HELP REGIONAL FOOD BANKS FILL THEIR SHELVES, WE GRATEFULLY ACCEPT DONATIONS FROM LOCAL GROCERY STORES, BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ORGANIZE FOOD DRIVES TO COLLECT ITEMS FROM NEIGHBORS AND CO-WORKERS. WE RELY ON THE DEDICATION OF 10 FULL-TIME AND 5 PART-TIME PAID STAFF MEMBERS AND 534 INCREDIBLE VOLUNTEERS WHO DISTRIBUTE FOOD, KEEP THE FOOD BANK CLEAN, PICK UP DONATIONS AT GROCERY STORES AND BUSINESSES, TRANSLATE IN EIGHT LANGUAGES, DO CUSTOMER INTAKE & DATA ENTRY, AND WORK IN THE WAREHOUSE (SORTING, BAGGING, STOCKING). WE ADDRESS FOOD JUSTICE WHILE BUILDING A STRONGER COMMUNITY THROUGH FOOD DISTRIBUTION. OUR MOST FUNDAMENTAL SERVICE IS TO PLACE NOURISHING FOOD ON EMPTY TABLES, AND TO DO SO WHEN CUSTOMERS CAN EASILY REACH US. IN ADDITION TO OUR DAYTIME HOURS MONDAY 12PM TO 4PM, WEDNESDAY 10AM TO 4PM, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY FROM 10 AM TO 2 PM (NO EVENINGS OR WEEKENDS). FOR THOSE WHO ARE HOME BOUND, WE PROVIDE DELIVERY SERVICE. IT'S HARD ENOUGH WHEN FAMILIES DON'T KNOW WHERE THEIR NEXT MEAL WILL COME FROM. IT'S EVEN WORSE WHEN NEW PARENTS CAN'T AFFORD BASIC SUPPLIES LIKE FORMULA, DIAPERS, AND BABY FOOD. WITH HELP FROM WESTSIDE BABY AND OTHER PRIVATE DONORS, WE ARE TAKING CARE OF THEM THROUGH OUR BABY PANTRY PROGRAM. THROUGH OUR SENIORS PROGRAM, SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION HOURS ARE SET ASIDE FOR THOSE 60 AND OVER: THURSDAYS FROM 10 AM TO 12 PM. WE PROVIDE FOODS FOR THEIR HEALTH NEEDS, LIKE LOW-SODIUM CANNED GOODS AND EXTRA VEGETABLES AND PROTEINS. THE FOOD STRENGTHENS THE BODY; THE SOCIAL TIME NOURISHES THE SOUL. IT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO EASE THE ISOLATION AND LONELINESS THAT TOO MANY SENIORS FACE. THROUGH OUR MOBILE FOOD BANK PROGRAM, THE MOBILE FOOD BANK PROGRAM GOES OUT TO THREE SENIOR AND DISABLED LOW-INCOME HOUSING COMPLEXES BRINGING A FULL RANGE OF HEALTHY FOODS TO RESIDENTS. THROUGH THE HEALTHY FOOD GIFT CERTIFICATE PROGRAM, EACH CUSTOMER WHO COMES TO THE FOOD BANK RECEIVES AT $5.00 VOUCHER ONCE A MONTH TO ONE OF THREE FRUIT STANDS IN WHITE CENTER TO BE USED FOR FRESH FRUITS OR VEGETABLES. IN ADDITION, THE FRUIT STAND WILL GIVE EACH CUSTOMER A GIFT OF ADDITIONAL PRODUCE. THIS HELPS THE CUSTOMER HAVE ACCESS TO CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE PRODUCE THAT NOURISHES THEM. WE ALSO SUPPORT THREE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS TO FURNISH FOOD FOR THEIR RESOURCE CENTERS AVAILABLE TO FAMILIES. WE ALSO PROVIDE FOOD FOR THREE DIFFERENT SEAMAR LOCATIONS TO PROVIDE FOOD TO PATIENTS THAT SCREEN POSITIVE FOR FOOD INSECURITY. OUR HOME DELIVERY PROGRAM SERVES 300 FAMILIES A MONTH THAT CANNOT MAKE IT TO THE FOOD BANK DURING REGULAR HOURS. THROUGH EMERGENCY BAGS, THOSE WHO NEED HELP OUTSIDE OF DISTRIBUTION HOURS RECEIVE PRE-MADE BAGS OF FOOD PROVIDED BY THE EMERGENCY FEEDING PROGRAM THAT LAST AT LEAST 2 DAYS. WHETHER THEY GO TO SOMEONE WHO IS HOMELESS AND OUT OF OPTIONS FOR THE DAY OR A WOMAN WHO IS RUNNING FROM ABUSE, THESE BAGS ARE LIFELINES TO GET THROUGH A CRISIS. WE DISTRIBUTE EMERGENCY FOOD BAGS MONDAY-FRIDAY, 8:30 AM TO 5PM. 4682527 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 26 0 1 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X ADRIANNA WONG 2067622848 126 SW 148TH ST BOX 97 C100 SEATTLE WA 98166 GABBI GONZALES PRESIDENT 1.25 X X 0 0 0 AMY FRENCH TREASURER 0.75 X X 0 0 0 KEVIN WATSON SECRETARY 0.75 X X 0 0 0 MELISSA AARON MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 HEATHER PATRICK MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 SCOTT ROMINE MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 BRENT CLORE MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 CARMEN SMITH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 126223 0 15070 MICHAEL PLAYFORD OPERATIONS DIRECTOR 40.00 X 110340 0 14468 JEFFERSON ROSE DEVELOPMENT & COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR 40.00 X 111854 0 3387 348417 0 32925 3 0 0 0 0 15000 217719 1401672 5468075 3414543 7102466 44348 44348 549297 533460 15837 15837 15837 68095 217719 68095 0 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 1453 1453 1453 7164104 0 0 61638 3043458 3043458 141293 55104 57930 28259 941120 607188 161718 172214 15238 10238 2239 2761 87793 56517 15203 16073 92471 56870 18494 17107 35600 35600 1554 1554 13475 13475 33503 33503 28278 28278 55926 48020 3953 3953 29550 22162 3694 3694 15260 9571 3528 2161 7788 4884 1801 1103 98227 98227 227198 227198 35339 22264 13075 FOOD PURCHASES 335787 335787 RELOCATION EXPENSES 61725 61725 MISCELLANEOUS 37172 23314 8595 5263 5337755 4682527 360887 294341 1339645 431801 957447 1845179 57466 190157 64239 96354 16694 18710 8412132 548628 8004840 7863504 10440331 10445705 276010 102607 1730543 0 2006553 102607 X 8433778 10343098 8433778 10343098 10440331 10445705 1826349 82971 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 5047868 4091659 5715086 9416190 7102466 31373269 5047868 4091659 5715086 9416190 7102466 31373269 2066789 29306480 343 2884 15696 26399 44348 89670 3870 1782 8324 1453 15429 31478368 0.93100 0.95260 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 572 1 982 0 1554 0 SCHEDULE C, PART II-B, LINE 1: FOUR STAFF PERSON WENT TO OLYMPIA FOR HUNGER ACTION DAY IN FEBRUARY AND PARTICIPATED IN BRIEF MEETINGS WITH STATE LEGISLATORS AND LEARNING BILLS RELATED TO HUNGER.
