The Lake Stevens Community Food Bank depends on volunteers to supply food to those in our community who need a helping hand. Without volunteers there would not be a food bank to serve our community. We have over 60 individuals who volunteer over 500 hours per month.

During the year they will register over 600 families. Some of our seniors live on a fixed income. Others have large families and not enough income. Some families need help for only a week or so until they can find work while others find themselves temporarily without a job. We will serve about 2000 family members of which 1000 are children. The needs vary but all are sincere. These faithful servants will tell you that the satisfaction of helping others is all they need to keep them volunteering. The Bible tells us that it is more satisfying to give than to receive. The Food Bank volunteers prove that this is true over and over.
