We envision a healthy community free of hunger and full of hope. Every day, we work tirelessly to get nourishing food and life-saving services to our neighbors in need.
Every year, we distribute nearly one million pounds of food, including fresh milk, eggs, and produce. We proudly operate this ‘grocery-style’ food bank in line with the USDA MyPlate Nutrition Guide, which increases the opportunity to choose balanced and nutritious meals your family will enjoy!
We offer bus passes, rent help, and utility assistance programs for clients residing in Maple Valley, Black Diamond, and the boundaries of the Tahoma School District. To apply for our financial assistance program, you must first register with the Maple Valley Food Bank. You can do that here. After your first grocery visit, you can speak with our Community Health Coordinator and pick up an application.
In an effort to connect clients with comprehensive case management, we bring other agencies onsite to assist with employment opportunities, food stamps, affordable health care, and more. 2,371 individuals received emergency financial assistance for eviction prevention, utility disconnects, bus passes and other emergency needs.
Every summer, we distribute backpacks to school aged children in Maple Valley, Black Diamond, and the boundaries of the Tahoma School District. These backpacks are filled with essential supplies that local students need to start their school year strong! This program is by appointment only and will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Continue visiting the Market on a weekly basis to be the first to know!
