Thurston County Food Project

Thurston County Food Project - Sharing Food. Building Community.

You want to help. We make it easy!

You are invited to join with us in partnering with the Thurston County Food Project to provide food for our community via donations for the Thurston County Food Bank. Unity of Olympia member, Karen Reddick and her three children have been involved in this project for several years in her own neighborhood and they are hoping to extend their reach even further by collecting bags of food from our Unity Community as well.

Here's how it works: When you sign-up, you will receive a Thurston County Food Project "Green Bag" to fill with food donations. Then on the first Sunday of every even month (February, April, June, August, October, and December) you bring your filled green bag to church with you and Karen and her children will exchange your bag with a new one, and take the food to the Food Bank for you. It's that simple!

And if you'd rather support either of these donation-run institutions with a monetary donation instead, that is welcomed, too. Just be sure to notate the program your donation is intended to support.

Below is a link to a recent Thurston Talk article that was written by Mary Ellen Psaltis about this project as well as a link to the Thurston County Food Project website if you'd like to learn more.

If you are interested in signing up to be a neighborhood coordinator to collect food from your own neighborhood, you can do that too!
