Other info:
Westside Food Bank (WSFB) was founded in 1981 by the Westside Ecumenical Council, when several Westside social service agencies worked together to create a food bank warehouse that could deal with food purchases and collections on a larger scale than any single direct service agency could.
Now, WSFB provides nutritious food for 72,000 households, which equates to 153,000 people in need, with the help of 60+ member agencies throughout our service area. They collaborate with a host of community coalitions and multi-sector partners to strengthen the food assistance network on a large scale. Their mission is to end hunger in our communities by providing access to free nutritious food through food acquisition and distribution, and by engaging the community and advocating for a strong food assistance network.
