The Holiday Campaign at Maple Valley Food Bank!

The holidays are here! We need our neighbors to step up in a big way to help us throughout the season. Below are a few ways you can help us fight hunger and feed hope in our community!

Gift Needs

Currently, our gift shop has over 600 kids registered. With this growing demand, we need help procuring age appropriate gifts for the following age groups: 0-1, 2-3, 4-6, 10-12, and $25 gift cards for those ages 13-18.

We have also set up an Amazon Wishlist of suggested gifts and quantities! If you purchase something off our Wishlist, it will be sent directly to the Food Bank. You can find the 2023 Gift Program Wishlist here: https://bit.ly/MVFBGiftWishlist
