Monday – Feb. 15, 2021 – in recognition of President’s Day.
Just a friendly reminder – as we are looking down the barrel of an oncoming snow storm – please be safe.
The safety of our clients, volunteers and staff is our #1 concern.
If you find yourself faced with dangerous driving conditions, please stay home until it is safe to drive on the roads.
We will keep Facebook updated as to any delayed distribution times or potential closures.

THANK YOU for taking care of yourself, your families, and this community – please stay safe.
TCFB heads into 2021 with new Volunteer Management Software! We are excited to partner with VolunteerLocal to bring new efficiency, accuracy, and streamlined reporting to the management of our many wonderful volunteers.
But we need your help! All new, returning, and current volunteers need to complete a new TCFB volunteer application one time. For more information, please visit our Volunteer Page.
The Thurston County Food Bank offers a limited home delivery program in an effort to protect the most vulnerable within our community from the spread of COVID-19.
We will do our best to deliver food to your home one time a month if:
The delivery counts as a regular full visit to the Food Bank.
Go to the Home Delivery Request Form to sign up.
Questions? Please contact our CSFP Manager. (360) 352-8597 x206.
Continue reading Home delivery for seniors 60+ AND those with a legal disabilityI’m certain we speak for everybody when we heave a giant sigh as we change the calendars to 2021! In the New Year, we are updating Thurston County Food Bank’s visit structure.
As you may be aware, when COVID first struck, we changed not only our distribution model, but visit structure. We changed the visits from set counts and defined visits – to “unlimited” visits in the pre-bagged/boxed model. This was done in response to COVID – and all that the pandemic brought.
Beginning January 4, 2021, the visit structure will change to a maximum visit of
1 VISIT PER WEEK – PER HOUSEHOLD.
We will continue to operate distributing pre-bagged/boxed foods using our drive-up distribution models(as well as walk-up at our Client Service Center for those without vehicles, on foot or taking busses). It should be also noted, Thurston County Food Bank continues to need volunteers at all locations as we enter 2021. Through everything our Community has been through this past year, we are grateful for the phenomenal people we have around us – supporting each other through these difficult times.
Please Note: We will be closed January 18.
We worked with these organizations to create these drive-up/walk up events near you.

This has been quite a year!
And, through it all, we have so much to be thankful for. To begin with, through all the trials of 2020, we have witnessed firsthand the generosity and kindness of our community coming together to support and care for one another.
What an astounding place this is!!
We hope you and your loved ones are able to enjoy the next several days as you reflect on those around you and all the things you are thankful for.
Wishing you and those close a healthy and safe Thanksgiving.
