Please join us for our second annual April Food Day, a community-wide initiative addressing food insecurity in Thurston County. Throughout March, we’re asking YOU to join hands with us in collecting much-needed items to support local food banks.
From March 3 to March 31, we urge all community members to participate by bringing their non-perishable food items to designated drop-off locations across Thurston County. These donations will be crucial in aiding individuals and families facing food insecurity in our communities.
On Monday, April 1, the United Way of Thurston County team will coordinate the delivery of collected food items to the following local food banks:
- Thurston County Food Bank
- Yelm Community Services Food Bank
- ROOF Community Services (serving Rochester)
