Food Lifeline Information

Feeding people facing hunger today and solving hunger for tomorrow. Every year, nearly 40% of our country's food ends up in landfills while millions of people go hungry. Food Lifeline rescues and redistributes healthy, nutritious food to people in need. We receive millions of pounds of surplus food from farmers, manufacturers, grocery stores, restaurants, and retailers every year. Our Hunger Solution Center, completed in 2016, has 190,000 square feet of space to hold this rescued food before volunteers sort and repack it. Food Lifeline then delivers it to more than 350 food banks, shelters, and meal programs throughout Western Washington - providing 280,000 meals every to our most vulnerable community members. At the same time, we are working to solve hunger for future by advocating for change and partnering with other organizations and agencies dedicated to ending hunger. The Hunger Solution Center is a hub for innovation and partnership that allows our community to join the movement to end hunger. We convene people at all levels to mobilize efforts that address hunger and other measures of poverty. It is easy and effective to donate your food, funds, voice, or time towards ending hunger.
