Mission: To help people in need reach their full potential for self-worth, health, and self-sufficiency. We do this by assisting the underprivileged in providing health and dental care, clothing, food, benefit and direct services, access to programs, disaster emergency services, referral to shelters, and education to the illiterate for betterment. We are committed in our undertaking to eradicate health disparities, homelessness, hunger and poverty. We are there to provide a solution, whenever possible, for those less fortunate in our communities.
Results: Entiat Valley Community Services Food Bank has been an important part of rural Entiat community for 30 years. As the
landscape of hunger, poverty, health disparities, and homelessness changes, we evolve with it – and our commitment to our needy and our community remain strong. We’re proud of our history and our efforts to help improve the lives and well-being of people in need. Entiat Valley Community Services Food Bank Resource Center: EVCSFB has evolved from a food bank, into a multi-services organization, serving over 7000 people direct-services yearly.

By applying this theory
