The Auburn Food Bank isn't only about food. We also have resources to help our clients with bills when the need arises.

Please bring mail for every adult in the household, showing current address, dated within the last 30 days, and proof of ID for yourself. One time a year, you will need to verify children in your home by way of a birth certificate, medical cards, prescription bottle in their name, DSHS letter of award, etc.

Help for the Homeless
Those persons experiencing homelessness can find help at our Ray of Hope Resource Center or the Sundown Overnight Shelter.

Policy change for The Auburn Food Bank (As of Sept. 2020):  

In an effort to continue to meet the needs of our community, we are changing our qualification policy. Effective immediately, the only qualification for food is that you have a need, based on your own judgment and that you reside within the Auburn School District boundary. This means you won’t be required to prove your household with mail or photo ID for food service. Our desire is to take care of anyone in need living within our community. 

The Auburn Food Bank offers other programs besides food service, and some of those programs will need current proof of residency, ID, and verification of the household within our service area. This will include:

  • extra holiday programs

  • financial assistance

  • shut-in delivery

  • weekend backpacks for students in our schools

Please call 253-833-8925 if you have any questions. Our hours of service for shopping with us are listed above.
