About This Pantry
Vashon’s Food Bank was started in the basement of the Presbyterian Church in the late 1970s and was incorporated as a non-profit organization in December 1991. We have been offering free groceries to Vashon residents ever since, through direct grocery distribution and innovative programming. The Food Bank’s services have evolved along with the changing needs of our community. We offer multiple services, including a program of once a week in-person shopping and grocery pick up, as well as a hugely expanded home delivery program. Additional programs like Picnics in the Parks, Harvest for Vashon, and the Food Bank Garden add to the diverse ways the Vashon Food Bank meets the island’s needs.
