A Historical Perspective
on Our Food Bank
Following the Second World War, when the Federal Government made
commodities available for distribution The “Snohomish Welfare
Service” quickly assumed the “food bank” task and carried it on
until 1982. Then, under the sponsorship of the Assembly of God
Church, the “Blackman’s Lake Food Reserve” was established in a
building owned by the parish and operated there until 1985. The
Blackman’s Lake Food Reserve was closed for two months, and was
formally reorganized into The Snohomish Community Food Bank with
concerned community leaders as an executive board to oversee all
aspects of its operation.
The Snohomish Community Food Bank officially reopened at
Stocker’s Produce Market adjacent to Harvey Airfield in October
1985 until August of 1986 when the facility moved to a facility
on Airport Way owned by the Harvey family. As needs of the
community continued to grow, in October 1989 the Mayor and City
Council agreed to donate property located North of Ferguson Park
and East of the Headquarters Fire Station on a long term lease
for a new Food Bank facility to be built. The plan called for
the site to be jointly owned by the City and the Fire District,
and the building constructed to be owned by the Food Bank.
Volunteers’ dedication and service are the foundation of our
successful past and our rewarding future. Will you share your
special talent or time with us? How often or how much time you
have to contribute is entirely up to you.
Due to the on going generosity of the community we serve, we are
very proud that we are financially sound. We gladly accept
donations of food and cash. At this
time we are unable to accept clothing, appliances or furniture at our
facility.
