This month, the Pantry is serving up a delightful vegetarian stew to keep you feeling cozy this spring.

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!

As a dietician, Alanna understands the power food has on communities. “I like to think of food as a central part of my life in particular, but I’d like it to be that way for others because I know it's important for a lot of cultures. Food is what brings everything together.”

A former teacher and former nurse – Joyce and Randy, are the dream team that have created an entire community network within the food bank. Their go-to delivery device, Randy’s Prius with a vibrant flame painted on the side, has left as much of an impression as their service to the community over the past two years.
