About Us

The Ferndale Food Bank is located on the Whatcom Transit Authority parking lot just east of I-5. We became a non-profit organization in 1981.

Each year we distribute 250,000 pounds of food yearly to over 5,400 families. For the past 36 years we have served thousands of people which are homeless and working poor, because poverty comes in all forms.

In 2004, we moved into our new building, which enables us to continue to serve more people. We currently serve 7,000 clients per year and distribute more than 300,000 pounds of food yearly.
