The Washington Center

The community cupboard food bank program is overseen by the washington center management/administrative staff, and a community member committee, which reports to the board of directors, but the daily functions of the program are provided by volunteers. The food bank program is certified through tefap - the emergency food assistance program to receive and distribute government commodities. Area businesses, donations, and community support have ensured the community cupboard continues successfully. The food bank hosts evening hours for working people who are working during the day but still could use the support of the food pantry. The number of families served averaged 176 monthly, comprised of an average of 311 adults and 154 children. Throughout the year we received 4,035 pounds of donated food.
