Join our team of volunteers! We are looking for a weekly delivery driver to drop off pre-packed food boxes along a designated route on Tuesday mornings, using the Foothills Food Bank van. Our home delivery program serves clients who can’t shop in person, often due to age, disability, or transportation barriers. As a delivery driver you will have the opportunity to get to know members of your community, and join a team of dedicated volunteers.

If interested, please fill out the volunteer application linked here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeWc8fC7SP1VWWInrPAtdMjx_zXrLEUVkumUc-s_KtaYmw9uQ/viewform

Note: A valid drivers license and insurance is required for this volunteer opportunity, along with a mandatory background check.

Our second annual Foothills Feast Fest was a huge success! We raised over $7,000, all of which goes right to feeding our community. We couldn’t have done it without our amazing hosts at The Empyrean Farm, Common Threads who kept us fed, The North Fork Brewery, Pizzeria and Beer Shrine and Stones Throw Brewery who provided delicious beverages, our sponsors, and all of our silent auction donors. Most importantly, we couldn’t have done it without all of YOU showing up for your community! 🙌💚

Meet our team -

Introducing our wonderful home delivery driver, McKale! Delivering to 45 households weekly, she ensures that neighbors who can’t make it to our facility can still be supplied with nutritious food. “I wanted to make a more direct difference in my community.”

Outside of her volunteer time with us, McKale also runs a micro-bakery, substitutes for the Mt. Baker school district, and tends her homestead.

Have you ever wondered where your local food bank actually gets its food?

The answer might surprise you. To give you a real picture, here's a look at a sample month–March–and where our food came from:

While a third of what we distribute comes from partner organizations, donations, and federal programs, the majority of our food is purchased directly. That includes nearly all of our dairy, proteins, and fresh produce–items that make a real difference in the quality of meals our neighbors take home.

That means your monetary donations aren't just appreciated–they're essential.

We believe everyone deserves access to good, nourishing food. And we're deeply grateful to be part of a community that makes that possible.

Here's what a monthly gift looks like in action:
• $50/month → Pantry staples for 5 families
• $100/month → Fresh produce for 30 households
• $500/month → Stocks our entire food bank for one full distribution day

Every dollar goes directly toward feeding our neighbors. Ready to make an impact? Link in bio.

The best produce our clients receive comes straight from farms like this one.

Through our Local Food Purchasing Program, we partner with local growers to bring fresh, diverse, and nutritious food to families in East Whatcom County. Empyrean Farm's commitment to regenerative agriculture, regional seed diversity, and local resilience makes them a true community partner in every sense.

When farms and food banks work together, the whole community eats better.

Stay tuned! We're teaming up with Empyrean Farm this summer for our biggest fundraiser of the year, and you won't want to miss it. 🚜🌾

Q1 2026 recap: 123,460 lbs of food. 4,189 total households fed. 12,195 total neighbors served.

None of it possible without our amazing donors and community. Thank you — let's keep going! 🙌
