50 Years and Counting
Skagit Valley Neighbors In Need was first established in 1972 and has continuously served Skagit Valley ever since. We are the oldest and second largest food bank in the region, serving over 2,000 households a month.
Last year, we distributed over 1,360,000 lbs of food. We accomplished this through the various services we provide, such as our regular Distribution Days, Mobile Food program, Backpack Program and other local organizations. This work saves a total of over 2 million dollars for those we serve; allowing local families to spend their money on other needs and supporting our economy.
How We Are Able To Do This
As a non-profit organization, we work closely with our food providers and other community outreach programs to provide outstanding services. We are able to supply Skagit Valley’s families with the help they need because of the generous support we receive from our community. Skagit Valley Neighbors in Need serves as a beacon of hope to many families, and we are happy to be able to be here for them. In the face of the increased cost of living, we all need a little hope to hold onto.
We receive food donations from local grocery stores as well as financial donations from private donors and charity drives. Without these people, we would not be here to provide the services we do. We are forever grateful!
