Food Lifeline's mission is to feed people experiencing hunger today and work to end hunger tomorrow.
Food Lifeline is the largest hunger-relief organization in Washington State. Our service area includes 17 counties in Western Washington. In FY 2021, through a network of more than 350 food pantries, meal programs, and shelters, we distributed 88.1 million pounds of food, representing more than 73 million meals. Alongside our partners, Food Lifeline helped more than 1.37 million neighbors living with hunger and food insecurity.
Our guiding principles ensure we approach hunger relief by addressing root causes. Root causes include poverty, racial inequity, and social injustice. We aspire to dismantle these systems, especially institutionalized racism, and white supremacy culture. We promote public policy and advocacy positions that reduce poverty and provide healthier, more equitable outcomes for all.
