SEATTLE — Food Lifeline plans to distribute thousands of emergency food boxes at four locations in King County this week.
The non-profit organization said the food boxes are available to anyone needing assistance keeping food on the table during the coronavirus pandemic.
Each box contains 22-25 pounds of shelf-stable food, including canned fruits and vegetables, canned meats, bread and grains, and other non-meat protein. Food Lifeline said the boxes will also contain some fresh produce.
The distribution is confidential, and no paperwork is required. However, Food Lifeline is asking for zip codes so it can track its efforts and where the food is going.
The food boxes are available by drive-up, no-touch distribution. Walk-up distribution is also available.
Food Lifeline updated the times and locations the emergency food boxes will be available:
SODO Warehouse: 1440 East Marginal Way South, Seattle, WA
- Friday, May 15 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Food Lifeline: 815 South 96th Street, Seattle, WA, 98108
- Friday, May 15 from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m.
Food Lifeline encourages all Washingtonians to take home a food box, adding that “no one should hesitate to accept this help.”
