Food 4 All is more than a program, it is a growing movement to ensure that every child, senior, and family on the Key Peninsula and Gig Harbor has reliable access to nutritious food. What began years ago as Food Backpacks 4 Kids, a simple effort to send weekend meals home with students, has since blossomed into a comprehensive, communitypowered initiative committed to both immediate relief and long-term resilience.
 

As food insecurity rises, Food 4 All offers a community-led solution rooted in dignity, connection, and resilience. It is building a food system that is truly by and for the people of our community—where everyone has the opportunity to belong, contribute, and be nourished.

 

To meet this rising demand, our organization has grown alongside the community we serve. Through our core programs- including the Family Pantry, where families can shop weekly for their own food; Home Delivery, which provides weekly food boxes to homebound individuals and families; the Family Resource Center, offering assistance with needs beyond food; and of course our Food Backpacks and Care Cupboards. This growth has allowed us to maintain consistent, high-quality food assistance even as the number of people relying on our services continues to increase.

 

But with growth comes new challenges- most notably, we have outgrown our current space.

 

That’s why, in November 2024, we took a bold and hopeful step forward: we purchased a 6.7-acre property in Key Center that will serve as the future home of Food 4 All. This land represents possibility—a place where we can consolidate our programs, strengthen local food production by growing our own food and partnering with local farms, and create a community-centered hub that fully supports the needs of the Key Peninsula and Gig Harbor.

 

Our Food 4 All program advances equity in the food system by increasing access to nutritious foods, reducing barriers for under-served households, and strengthening community-led food production on the Key Peninsula.
