Learn About us
our History
The Stanwood Camano Food Bank provides assistance to more than a thousand community members. With the help of our generous donors, we provide a wide variety of food, as well as pet food and basic toiletries to those in need. This generosity translates into essential assistance to children, seniors, working poor, single adults, homeless, and families of all backgrounds.
The Stanwood Camano Food Bank mission is made possible by the generosity of our wonderful community. First, are the hundreds of volunteers who, each month, provide about two thousand hours of service. Second, the food bank rescues hundreds of pounds of produce, dairy, and bread from grocery store partners. Third, many generous individuals support Stanwood Camano Food Bank by donations to both the Food Bank and the Thrift Store.
Jeanie Ovenell, founder of the Stanwood Camano Food Bank and Thrift Store. Jeanie started the food bank in the 1970’s and the Articles of Incorporation were signed in October 1981 becoming the official Stanwood Camano Food Bank Services.
With this tremendous community support, the Stanwood Camano Food Bank serves over 1,500 families per month, distributing over 1,000,000 pounds of food.
