The Snoqualmie Indian Tribe recently donated three vehicles to the Carnation Food Bank.

“The Snoqualmie Indian Tribe has always been good to us, supporting us for over 40 years. With the addition of the three vehicles they just donated, we will be able to better serve our community,” said volunteer Fred Vosk. “We are the mainstay of the Valley, we don’t ask questions, and are here to simply help out those who are in need of food and clothing.”

The privately run food bank serves on average 100 families, or about 400 people each week, providing food and clothing to local residents.

“Supporting the Carnation Food Bank is important to us. We are pleased that the three vehicles we are donating can be put to good use, and help expand the operations of this much needed community food bank,” said Alisa Burley, Snoqualmie Tribal Secretary.

Carnation Public Food Bank is located at 31822 Myrtle Street, Carnation, and is open from noon to 7 p.m. on Wednesdays.

To make donations of food, clothing, and gift cards, write to Carnation Public Food Bank P.O. Box 393 Carnation, WA 98014, or call (206) 949-2310.
