Food Lifeline is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending hunger in Western Washington. Food Lifeline makes every penny count. 90% of the food we receive from local, state and national contributors is donated, allowing us to provide nine dollars worth of food to hungry people for every donated dollar.

Working to End Hunger
Last year, Food Lifeline secured nearly 22 million pounds of food – the equivalent of 17 million meals – to feed hungry families and individuals throughout Western Washington. Food Lifeline provides food to over half a million people through our network of 300 emergency feeding programs including food banks, hot meal programs and shelters.

Innovative Solutions
Food Lifeline provides a creative link between food sources and hungry people. By encouraging the food industry to donate unmarketable but usable food it would otherwise discard. In this role, Food Lifeline rescues millions of pounds of food each year. Locally, restaurants and caterers contribute prepared food through Food Lifeline's innovative Seattle's Table program, and fresh produce is collected from produce wholesalers and retailers through our creative Produce for the People program. Local grocery retailers donate a variety of nutritious products from meat, dairy, fresh produce and baked goods through Food Lifeline's effective Grocery Rescue program.

Help for Your Community
Food Lifeline is also the designated agency for distribution of state and federal food commodities in King County, an affiliate of America's Second Harvest - The Nation's Food Bank Network, and is one of the United Way of King County's partner agencies.
