The Ocean Shores Food Bank is seeking volunteer Board Members to lead and strengthen the community organization, especially with leadership or fundraising experience.

The food bank is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors with responsibilities that include long-term planning, program oversight, fundraising, advocacy, outreach, and the development of organizational policy.

If you are interested in a board position, email a request for an application to food@oceanshoresfoodbank.org or call (360) 289-2171 and leave a message.

Recently, a guest shared, “It’s such a joy to come to the food bank. Everyone is always smiling and making me feel welcome. The food choices are great, and the people are even better. I feel like I have friends here that care about me.”

Food bank volunteers strive to create a caring community each and every Thursday we are open for distribution. It’s wonderful to hear that the food bank is a place where people come not only for supplemental groceries but also for a warm welcome and a sense of belonging.

Consider leaving a Legacy Gift to the Ocean Shores Food Bank in Your Will

Just as we are committed to ensuring everyone in our community has access to adequate nutritious food, we are equally sure you are committed to protecting your loved ones.

A Will is more than just a document; it’s a way to care for all that you love, such as designating guardians for minor children and pets and helping us address hunger for years to come. 

Having a plan for your assets is crucial, but so is creating a legacy that reflects your values and commitment. You will make a generational impact in a world where food is a basic human right.

Thank you again for your generosity, partnership, and dedication to our mission to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.
