As SNAP benefits conclude on Nov. 1, many families may experience diminished food support. ReWA recognizes the importance of access to nutritious food and has assembled a list of local food bank resources for individuals and families. Various food programs are available to ensure access to healthy meals, fostering community empowerment.

Key resources include:

  • Hopelink in Bellevue offers food support twice a month and plans to expand services starting Nov. 3.
  • Renewal Food Bank in Bellevue operates weekly with no service area restrictions.
  • St. Vincent de Paul and SODO Community Market in Seattle serve clients multiple days a week, requiring ID and bags.
  • Jewish Family Services provides kosher food, while El Centro de la Raza specifically assists seniors and individuals with limited mobility.
  • West Seattle Food Bank includes a pet pantry and operates several days a week.
  • FamilyWorks Food Bank does not require ID and offers services on selected days.

These resources are vital for maintaining community health and well-being as families navigate the changing landscape of food assistance.
