Year in review 2019: Point Roberts Food Bank

By Henry Rosenthal

The Point Roberts Food Bank is a nonprofit charitable organization that distributes food at no cost to needy families and individuals who have financial difficulty purchasing enough food to sustain themselves. We serve about 200 people per month. We are supported by the generosity of local businesses, our fire department and, of course, wonderful individual folks. Food donations can be dropped off at International Marketplace. Financial contributions can be made by calling 360/945-1711 or at Banner or Umpqua banks locally. All our volunteer staff makes sure everyone in need is served to the best of our abilities. We provide deliveries to those unable to leave their homes.

In addition to the above, we provide guidance in educating folks in nutrition. Our clothing bank is available upon request and at times scheduled throughout the year. We listen and will assist.
