Feed the Need Community Food Drive

The 24th Annual Feed the Need Community Food Drive is October 8th-12th! We are trying to raise $150,000 for Whatcom County food banks. Every $10 donated can purchase $100 worth of food – so please, donate today! Donate at any Industrial Credit Union, Whatcom County Haggen Northwest Fresh store or donate online now.

The Need:

- 1 in 5 Whatcom County households regularly use a food bank.
- 35% of food bank recipients are children.
- 44% of food bank households have at least one family member working.
- 52% of food bank recipients have some level of college education.
- Since 2007, the average monthly food bank visits have increased by 80%.
- 30,000 Whatcom County residents visit food banks each month – enough to fill Civic Stadium 8 times.
- 596,000 pounds of food are distributed each month – enough to fill 18 semi-trucks.
