Stanwood Camano Food Bank is offering an web-based alternative to waiting in line for Food Bank services. Those who wish to still receive their number ticket in-person at the Food Bank are welcome to do so, beginning 1 hour prior to when we open through closing.
For questions, please reach out to scfoodbank@scfbs.org or ask a staff member when you arrive.
