Become A Client
If you are a resident of Skagit County, struggling to make ends meet, and a bit of food would alleviate some stress, we would love to help.
You can visit us in Mount Vernon during our regular distribution hours (Tuesdays between 11am – 5pm), and we will start providing for you that same day.
Keeping It Simple
You can either fill out an intake form at our building, or you can download the form, fill it out digitally or by hand, print it, and bring it with you. This helps speed up the process.
We ask for as little information as possible. There are no questions of your income or occupational status, and we do not give out your information. If you would rather not give us your real information due to sensitive life events, that is acceptable – as long as you remember the information you have given us in case your profile requires an update or you have lost your ID number.
We provide food that does not require cooking as long as you identify that need. Our food bank is wheelchair accessible, and we try to provide further accommodations if required. If you need some additional help while picking up food, please do not hesitate to ask!
Mobile Food Clients
Mobile Food is a service for those who are unable to visit our food bank regularly due to age, disability or illness. We deliver a box of food to the client’s home biweekly.
There are a few requirements to become a Mobile Food Client. These are as follows:
• Applicant is a resident of Mount Vernon
• Applicant is unable to access local food bank due to documented disability which prevents the individual or member of the household from accessing food bank services
Or two or more of the following circumstances apply to the applicant:
• Lacks available transportation (public or private) or experiences extreme hardship using public transportation, and/or other extenuating circumstances
• Does not reside within walking distance from a mass transit system (½ mile)
• Does not reside within walking distance from a food bank (½ mile)
If you, or someone you know, fulfills these requirements and are interested in becoming a client, there are plenty of ways you can apply!
If you would like to become a mobile food client, please call us at (360) 982 – 2089 or fill out an application.
