What's New?
Thanks to Boeing employees for new truck
With the generous support of the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound, we were able to purchase a new truck. This 14-ft truck will help us better serve our clients. More and more clients means larger quantities of food to manage. With the new truck, we can transport larger amounts of donated food more efficiently and effectively.
Many thanks to the generous Boeing employees!

That big warm smile greeting clients and volunteers every day at NW Tacoma FISH belongs to Tommy Eslinger. "I came in for food one day, and I saw they needed help so I offered." That was two years ago and he's been around ever since, helping to organize the food bank, train volunteers and greet clients. An accomplished cook, Tommy loves to develop recipes with the ingredients available at the food bank. "I love being here; I never get tired of it," says Tommy. We love having you here, Tommy, and we're grateful for all that you do! |
