The Issaquah Sammamish Food Project collects food and basic need supplies on behalf of the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank. Based on the community needs, the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank requests specific donations that will help meet the needs of those they serve.
Thank you for helping ensure safety and efficiency by…
- Sticking to the list above! Limited space and people-power makes it difficult to store and distribute anything beyond the requests list.
- Donating new & unexpired food only. Open and expired foods are unable to be distributed and unfortunately have to be thrown out.
- Considering the size of items being donated. It helps with storage given their limited space and is better for the many clients walking to and from the food bank.
