Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank

Programs: Issaquah food and clothing bank - our food bank is a self-select grocery store model. Our atmosphere encourages personal choice and we strive to meet our clients dietary and nutritional needs. We offer a wide selection of produce, canned goods, frozen meat, proteins, dairy products, baked and dry goods. In 2017 we distributed over a million pounds of food and over 50,000 bags of groceries. In october of 2014 we launched groceries to go, which is a food delivery program for citizens that are home bound and in 2017 expanded this program by serving 68 households a week. We thrive from the partnerships we develop with local churches, service groups, city of issaquah and sammamish support, local businesses and a solid volunteer base. The ifcb clothing bank serves 12 different zip codes. Our clothing bank provides clothing for men, women and children, as well as basic household items. Families can get two large bags of goods weekly.

The primary goal of this program is to help our vulnerable community members stay housed.
