SENIOR PROGRAM
We offer a senior program through the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) that provides low-income seniors aged 60 or older with free, healthy food each month. Each month, participants receive a package of nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, dairy, juices, potatoes, rice, cereals, and protein—ensuring they get the essentials for a balanced diet. Unlike food vouchers, seniors receive actual food to help support their overall health and well-being.
The program is managed by the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) and is available in various areas across Washington State. Through partnerships with local food pantries and assistance programs, CSFP makes sure eligible seniors can easily access these much-needed food packages.

CSFP PROGRAM
The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) provides low-income seniors (60+) with monthly food packages containing nutritious items like fruits, vegetables, dairy, and protein. Administered by the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA), the program helps seniors in 27 counties across Washington access healthy food through local food pantries.
Each month, eligible participants receive around 28 pounds of food to support their nutrition. The application process includes completing a form at a participating food pantry and providing proof of age, income, and household size. Due to funding limits, not all counties offer the program.
For more details or to apply, contact your local food pantry or visit the Washington State Department of Agriculture website.

CURBSIDE PICKUP
We offer curbside pickup for existing customers who prefer a more convenient way to receive their groceries. This service is especially helpful for those with mobility challenges, health concerns, or tight schedules—no need to leave your car, we’ll bring your groceries right to you.
To use curbside pickup, you MUST call ahead to schedule by 9:00–9:30 AM on the day you plan to come in. Once scheduled, just pull into the parking lot and give us a call—we’ll take care of the rest.
In some cases, online grocery ordering may be available, depending on staff and volunteer capacity. This option is evaluated on a base-by-base basis and may be paused or cancelled at any time. If approved, orders must be placed by 10:00 PM the night before pickup. Please speak with staff before placing your order and again prior to pickup to confirm that your order is ready.
