THIS TRANSLATES INTO OVER 11,445 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. 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 1.6 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD EACH YEAR. IN THE PAST THREE YEARS, WE HAVE GROWN TO A $4 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 628 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 2 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. 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. 4791907 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 18 0 1 17 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 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 BOARD PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 AMY FRENCH BOARD TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KEVIN WATSON BOARD SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MELISSA AARON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 HEATHER PATRICK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CARMEN SMITH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 126519 0 15922 MICHAEL PLAYFORD OPERATIONS DIRECTOR 40.00 X 105839 0 11717 232358 0 27639 2 0 0 0 0 92500 180795 3308447 5834448 3132415 9416190 26399 26399 483461 -483461 -483461 -483461 60280 180795 60280 0 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 8324 8324 8324 8967452 0 0 -448738 3222022 3222022 142441 65523 42732 34186 889924 566914 165333 157677 6522 5191 543 788 46714 30017 8512 8185 87399 53750 17480 16169 37350 37350 417 417 13750 13750 7827 7827 60583 60583 34878 26158 4360 4360 198015 198015 162212 162212 37282 23488 13794 FOOD PURCHASES 255172 255172 RELOCATION EXPENSES 100642 100642 MISCELLANEOUS 24904 21803 3101 5328054 4791907 301032 235115 152217 1339645 531657 957447 591767 57466 63822 64239 16217 16694 8421574 416734 6440154 8004840 16353 0 7812187 10440331 69613 276010 3948131 1730543 4017744 2006553 X 2270424 8433778 1524019 0 3794443 8433778 7812187 10440331 3639398 837 999100 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4395000 5047868 4091659 5715086 9416190 28665803 4395000 5047868 4091659 5715086 9416190 28665803 1299945 27365858 1518 343 2884 15696 26399 46840 3870 1782 8324 13976 28726619 0.95260 0.96110 X FORM 990, SCHEDULE A, LINE 1, COLUMN (B): IN 2021, THE ASSOCIATION RECEIVED $999,100 FROM THE WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE TO BE APPLIED TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF REAL ESTATE INCLUDING LAND AND A BUILDING FOR A NEW LOCATION OF THE ASSOCIATION'S FOOD BANK OPERATIONS.
