MILL CREEK COMMUNITY FOOD BANK
In Person Market Shopping: Thursdays 4:00pm - 7:00pm
Each week, we provide food assistance to over 2,000 individuals and 500 families, ensuring they receive not just shelf-stable essentials like canned vegetables, pasta, and soup, but also fresh, nutritious staples such as produce, eggs, milk, and meat.
If you're interested in making a difference, we’d love your help! Whether it’s food distribution, sorting, restocking, or organizing, your time and effort help us serve our community. Sign up today by filling out our volunteer application! 💙
Hope Creek Charitable Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Mill Creek, WA, dedicated to serving those in need. We are committed to supporting our community with grace and compassion, fostering meaningful relationships along the way.
Through your generosity, we can make a lasting impact—helping individuals and families not just today, but for years to come. 💙
HELP US BUILD OUR FUTURE HOME
In 2024, we served over 80,400 individuals and 20,786 families. Our biggest challenge is the logistics required to receive, store, and distribute food to our community members without having a permanent building or loading docks. We currently set up portable tents in a parking lot, and transport the food from our storage units to the tents, which allows our community members to shop in a farmer’s market style set-up. Our volunteers set up and take down pop-up tents just about every day.
Our food bank operates 50 weeks a year, braving the elements to ensure no one goes hungry. From the freezing cold to the summer heat, our dedicated team of volunteers shows up, taking a one week break in July and one at the end of December. Rain or shine, sleet or hail—we're here! If you are coming to volunteer, don't forget to dress appropriately for the weather outside.
We are fundraising for a permanent building that will provide loading docks and help to shelter from the rain. Please donate to this project and help us to shelter and protect our food, volunteers, and our clients. Thank you.
