For the first time in the Association's 37-year history there will be a designated fund allocated towards food and essential infrastructure needed to get food into the community and to our neighbors in need.  Our four food banks currently serve 3,400 households per month. The need for our services continues to grow. With this new fund we can meet this demand now and well into the future.

Our first-year goal is to raise $200,000.

We will accept monetary donations of all amounts, but this is an excellent way to support the movement to end hunger at its root cause through an estate or trust bequest – opening the doors to multi-generational relationships and engagement that help realize a vision of a hunger-free Jefferson County. Other gifts considerations might be a donation through a Donor Advised Fund, gifting your annual IRA disbursement, a matching gift through your employer, corporate donations or monthly recurring donation

To help jump start funding efforts, the Port Townsend Food Coop will be donating all proceeds to the Food Bank Food Fund from their “Round up at the Register” campaign during November and December.  To get more information and learn how you can be among the first to ‘seed’ the fund, please send us a note with your questions and you will also be among the first to get an exclusive invitation to our launch party in mid-January.
