On June 28th, 2024, Rainier Valley Food Bank held a Groundbreaking Ceremony to celebrate the start of construction on their revitalization project for the new community food hub, planning to open in Fall 2025. People gathered to celebrate the creation of a space with enough room to address the many challenges that lead to hunger in our community.

The 9021 Rainier Ave S building, which we now call home, has a long history of serving our South Seattle community. Before us, the building was a library, a mortuary, a bank, and a Chiropractor’s office – to say the least, our new home has a long, unique history of serving our community’s needs. Learn about how we are honoring our space this month by checking out our new blog post, and we hope to see you at an upcoming event!

We were so thrilled to gather with and celebrate our incredible community of volunteers last month. Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to ensuring our neighbors in South Seattle don't have to go hungry truly makes our work possible. To those who joined us in person or in spirit, we're so grateful to be able to celebrate you!
