Edmonds Food Bank receives $850K in federal funds for new location
EVERETT — The Edmonds Food Bank received $850,000 in federal funding toward construction of a new food bank, the organization announced in a press release Thursday.
On Feb. 3, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a federal spending bill, allocating funding to many projects throughout the country.
In 2024, the food bank launched a $12 million capital campaign for a new location. The food bank currently operates out of the basement of Edmonds United Methodist Church, a space it has outgrown, food bank spokesperson Kellie Lewis said in the release. The food bank team is actively seeking a site for its future home.
“The steadfast commitment of our leaders to keeping neighbors facing food insecurity at the forefront, especially in these challenging times, continues to inspire our team,” Edmonds Food Bank Executive Director Casey Davis said in the release. “We’re deeply grateful for the momentum this brings as our community comes together to make this new food bank a reality.”
