Ballard Food Bank

The Ballard Food Bank announced that Amazon has donated to its Hope Beyond Hunger capital campaign and formed a strategic partnership to bring food and assistance to people across northwest Seattle. The multifaceted partnership includes $750,000 in total funding for the future of Ballard Food Bank, Amazon employee volunteering support, and an exploration of innovative community programs and markets where families can shop and access healthy food. Amazon has provided grants totaling $500,000 for the Hope Beyond Hunger capital campaign to support Ballard Food Bank's future home — scheduled to open in fall 2021 — plus $250,000 to support programming for families and children in need. Ballard Food Bank's future location at 1400 N.W. Leary Way will serve an expanded area including Licton Springs through Bitter Lake and up to 145th Street. This will be the first building that Ballard Food Bank has owned — an effort that has brought together supporters including The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the city of Seattle, the state of Washington, and many individual donors.
