Important Update: Today's Food Distribution Will Be Drive-Thru Only.

Due to the unhealthy air quality caused by wildfire smoke, today's food distribution will be drive-thru only to help protect the health and safety of our clients, volunteers, and staff.

🚗 Please remain in your vehicle when you arrive, and our team will bring your pre-packed boxes to you.

📦 Make sure your vehicle is cleared out and has an open space available for us to place your food box.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we adjust our operations to keep everyone as safe as possible. Thank you for helping us make this process smooth for everyone.

Please stay safe, limit time outdoors if possible, and take precautions during the smokey conditions. We look forward to serving you today!

With air quality reaching unhealthy levels in our area, it's important to take steps to protect your health - especially for children, older adults, and anyone with asthma, heart disease, or other respitory conditions.

If you need a place to get out of the smoke, Sno-Isle Libraries serve as Safe Air Shelters during their regular business hours. Their buildings provide a clean, air-conditioned space when you can breathe easier, read, use Wi-Fi, charge your devices or simply take a break from the poor air quality.

Please check on your neighbors, friends, and loved ones who may more vulnerable to the smoke, and remember:

💙 Stay indoors as much as possible.
💙 Keep windows and doors closed.
💙 Run an air purifier if you have one.
💙 Limit outdoor activity until air quality improves.

It is a partnership between state, county, tribal, and federal agencies, who coordinate to collectively share information for Washington communities affected by wildfire smoke.

💙This morning was incredible!!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Hazel Blue Acres this morning to pick blueberries for the Arlington Community Food Bank!

Because of your generosity and hard work, 322 pounds of fresh blueberries will be shared with our neighbors in need. Every blueberry picked represents kindness, compassion, and a community that truly cares.

We are so grateful to Hazel Blue Acres for welcoming us and to each volunteer who gave their time this morning. Whether you picked for a few minutes or stayed for the entire time, you made a real difference.

Thank you for making today such a sweet success! We couldn't do it without you!
