Happy Pride Month! 🌈

This month and every month, we celebrate the strength, joy, and contributions of LGBTQ+ community members, neighbors, families, and caregivers. We remain committed to creating spaces where everyone is welcomed, valued, and supported with dignity and respect.

Wishing our LGBTQ+ community a joyful, affirming, and love-filled Pride Month.

This past weekend, we hosted our Farm Partner Friendly Hmong Farms at our empty, temporary food bank space for their Mother's Day Weekend mutual aid fundraiser. Folks across Seattle purchased beautiful bouquets of flowers to support local Hmong flower farmers and other Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers impacted by the December 2025 floods.

We're so glad to have had a space available for Friendly and her team to organize their flowers and deliver them to the pick up sites.

Each month, we include a recipe in our Wallingford Food Bank newsletter for our participants to try! This month, we adapted a recipe for Thai Red Curry Vegetable Soup by Beth Moncel from Budget Bytes.

In celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AANHPI), we're purchasing extra ginger, bok choy, and other culturally relevant ingredients at our Food Bank that can be used in this recipe!
