If you would like to volunteer, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at (360) 352-8597 x207. Our Volunteer Coordinator directs most of their time to working with volunteers and clients on our shopping floor, so please bear with us as we make time to follow up on phone messages.
If you cannot volunteer, please consider making a monetary donation. Your contribution will be put toward emergency needs if they emerge. If a need for emergency food and staffing does not emerge due to COVID-19, your contribution will be used to support our overall mission of ending hunger in our community.
Please know that we have scaled back our staff and volunteer functions to essential operations only. This means it may take us a little longer than usual to respond to emails and phone calls, and responding to urgent messages will be prioritized.

Visit a local restaurant on one of our Dine Out dates, enjoy a delicious meal, beverage, or treat, and a percentage of your tab will be donated to Thurston County Food Bank.
