关于我们
Nourish Pierce County (formerly FISH Food Banks of Pierce County) exists to provide a basic human need to those experiencing hunger and food insecurity. As the oldest and largest food bank network in Pierce County, Nourish Pierce County’s mission is simple--to provide food to those in need with compassion, dignity and respect. Incorporated in 1982, Nourish Operates seven food banks and two innovative mobile food banks that visit up to ten unique locations each week. Food bank locations are spread throughout the county and chosen strategically based on community need and areas lacking food access. Nourish serves the underemployed, unemployed, children, seniors, active-duty military, veterans, individuals experiencing homelessness, individuals with disabilities, and many hard-working families who are often times just a paycheck away from losing everything. No one in need is ever turned away. Nourish Food Banks are about People. Volunteers, clients, donors, supporters, neighbors, seniors, children, the working poor, loving families. Nourish Food Banks are about Community. The neighborhoods we serve, creating connections within each food bank, a supportive network, the village of volunteers it takes to accomplish monthly food distribution to up to 50,000 people. Nourish Food Banks are about Stories. Transforming lives, supporting each other, clients giving back to the organization that supports them in hard times, the joy on a child’s face when she receives a cake and stuffed animal to make her birthday special, hardships and tears, joy and accomplishments. Did you know? More than 94% of funds raised go directly to putting food on the tables of people in need. Thank you for supporting a healthy community and truly caring about your neighbors in need. We are grateful for you, and for your compassionate action.

Thank you OSLC, your Abundance Garden donated an incredible 1,620 pounds of fresh produce to our Southeast food bank this summer! Since 2010, the Abundance Garden at Our Savior Lutheran Church has donated over 11,000 pounds of fresh produce to Nourish, ensuring neighbors in need have access to fresh, high quality, healthy foods all summer! Community garden partnerships, like the Abundance Garden, exist at many of our brick-and-mortar food banks, with even larger partnerships taking place between local farms and our warehouse, ensuring all 21 of our food banks and mobile sites have access to fresh, locally grown produce. Nourish is proud to have so many local community gardens supporting our food banks. These partnerships help strengthen our communities and allow us to focus our spending on other foods while still providing healthy and fresh produce to people in need.

Betty and Olive have both have volunteered at Nourish’s Southeast food bank for a decade. While they come from different backgrounds - Betty was a homemaker and Olive was a nurse – together they are the backbone of the Tuesday, and Thursday re-bag team. They are pictured here at Southeast and posing with scarecrows which Olive enjoys making in her spare time! Thank you, Betty and Olive, for your dedication and for making Southeast a fun and inviting place!

Today is National Child Health Day - here at Nourish we prioritize healthy, nutritious food for the whole family. According to the CDC, less than 1 in 10 children or adults eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables each day. Nourish Pierce County understands that a good day starts with good food. We provide fresh produce and foods high in protein at each of our food banks - ensuring that families have access to good, nutritious food to help their children learn and grow.
