Location Overview

How We Support Our Community At Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank:

We provide food, clothing, hygiene items, and household essentials with care and respect for everyone—clients, volunteers, staff, and donors alike. In our community, where high living costs make even basic needs a challenge, we work to reduce food insecurity and support families in meaningful ways.

How You Can Help:

Everyone can make a difference. Volunteer your time, donate food or funds, hold a food drive, advocate, or get your workplace involved. Every gift—big or small—helps neighbors in need.

Food & Clothing Support Food: Serving all Washington residents, including rescued perishable items, to reduce waste and feed families. Clothing: Diapers, children’s clothing through KidVantage, seasonal coats, and emergency items for people experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity.

Referrals & Emergencies Many families facing crisis don’t know where to turn. We connect them to resources for food, shelter, healthcare, and more, and provide short-term support like rent or utility assistance when needed.

Special Programs Groceries-to-Go: Weekly grocery delivery for clients who can’t visit the Food Bank. Holiday Gift Program: Gift cards for families to choose gifts for their children. Summer Lunch & Lunch for the Break: Special shopping days to support families when kids are on school breaks and aren’t receiving school meals.

Together, with volunteers, donors, and community partners, we ensure no neighbor goes hungry and every family has the support they need to thrive.
