The Edmonds Food Bank is transforming lives and eliminating food insecurity in our community. We focus on healthy, nutritious food and personalized ordering for our customers. All are welcome to access our location for food support. We serve 1000 households weekly through onsite distributions, delivery, mobile market, and partnership distributions. We appreciate fresh produce from your gardens and donations of non-perishable foods, toiletries, diapers, and baby food. In addition, we accept dog and cat food donations for our neighbors with pets as companions.
We appreciate your donations. Please see our website (edmondsfoodbank.org). The bottom of our home page includes information on donations, food drives and what we need most.
ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
