Entiat Valley Community Services Food Bank

Is a nonprofit, volunteer driven, charitable service organization providing food, clothing, basic necessities, health clinic, benefit services, employment skills and job search, transportation and meals to Chelan and Douglas Counties families who are struggling to make ends meet. Our primary mission is to move people forward from hunger, poverty and homeless by providing nutritional food and empowerment. We strive to be worthy and honorable custodians of the gifts we receive on behalf of those we serve.  For every dollar donated to us, over 97 cents goes toward food and services. And no one who comes to EVCSFB is turned away or goes away hungry.

​ How You Can Help

Your Help Makes A Difference

Because Entiat Valley is a charitable service organization, we provide our services through all volunteers (no-paid staff), free, we receive no federal, state, or local government funding for our programs. We invite you to join our organization by donating time, money, food or non-food items.

​

By volunteering or donating you help thousands of people in need by providing hope and a better life. Contact Us for more information on how you can help individuals and families in need. Find Out More.​

Hold a Food Drive

Food drives and fundraisers are key to our success. Anyone who has been a part of the community for any time at all is familiar with major EVCSFB events and our food drives. Each year the Entiat School Leadership Class, Boy Scouts', Entiat Food Center and Entiat Ranger District/Forest Service conduct food drives in the fall.

​

While these big events get a lot of much-deserved attention, we never want to give the impression that these food drives have no impact. In fact, they do, and - in some ways - they can reach people in ways some of  our bigger campaigns never will.

​

Food and non-food drives are needed all year long. EVCSFB has the staff and materials necessary to make your Drive work perfectly. If

you would like more information  Please Click Here.
