Edmonds Food Bank receives $250,000 grant from Amazon

EDMONDS—Edmonds Food Bank has received a $250,000 grant from Amazon toward construction of a new food bank to keep pace with the sharp rise in food insecurity. The largest single contribution to the food bank’s “Thrive Together” capital campaign came this month, moving the organization past the $1.5 million mark toward its overall $12 million total fundraising goal.

The donation arrives as food banks across Washington are facing severe strain from federal funding cuts, tightened SNAP eligibility, and rising food prices. The Edmonds Food Bank serves more than 1,200 families per week – a 30 percent increase over last year that is only expected to grow throughout 2026.

“A new Edmonds Food Bank is an urgent necessity, not just a nice-to-have,” said Casey Davis, Executive Director of Edmonds
