πŸŽ‰The Snack Shack opens today at 12PM for the summer season! πŸ•πŸŒ­

Located at Haller Park, the Snack Shack is more than just a place to grab a snack on a sunny day, it's a place that plays an important role in supporting our mission of serving the community with dignity and compassion while fighting food insecurity. All proceeds from the Snack Shack go directly back to the food bank to help purchase food for our neighbors in need.

The Snack Shack also serves as a summer food resource for children who don't have access to school meals while school is out. Through our meal voucher program, local children and families can redeem vouchers for free meals at the Snack Shack throughout the season. ❀️

Whether you're stopping by for a cold drink, a homemade Naan bread pizza, or an ice cream, you're helping make a difference right here in our community.

The Snack Shack:

πŸ“1100 West Avenue, Arlington WA 98223

We hope to see you there!

The other day, we shared that our shelves were looking a little bare that we needed help and our incredible community responded.

Because of your generosity, we received donations of food that will help ensure our neighbors and families continue to have access to the resources they need. Every can, box, bag, and dollar donated makes a difference, and we are so grateful for the support.

To the ones that sent gift receipts, Michaela Brogan, Lori Merculief, and Christopher Heath in memory of Roy de Soto and to all of the donations that we received that didn't have gift receipts, thank you ❀️

The kindness and generosity from our community is what makes our work possible.

We are continually humbled by the compassion of this community. During times when resources are stretched thin, you remind us that we are not alone in this mission.

πŸ’™ From all of us at the Arlington Community Food Bank, thank you for standing with us.
