Mission: Our mission is to provide a nutritional and culturally appropriate response to people in need of immediate food assistance by collaborating with partner agencies throughout seattle and king county.
Programs: The emergency feeding program (efp) works with over 240 partner agencies to make food available when and where people in crisis need it. Our partners include social service agencies, public health clinics, food banks, schools, faith communities and many others. These partner agencies deliver nutritionally balanced and culturally appropriate efp food packs directly to people in need (their clients) with no wait time or restrictions. This enables the partner agency and their clients to focus on the root cause of the crisis without worrying where the client's next meal was coming from. In 2016, efp provided over 600,696 nutritionally balanced meals to over 71,974 individuals in crisis throughout king county.
