The Issaquah Food and Clothing is extending their service hours to being open every Monday evening from 5-7 p.m. The goal is to be more accommodating to shoppers that work in the afternoons, according to Cori Walters, executive director of the organization.

With the addition of 6-10 more service hours a week, the food and clothing bank will need more volunteer support. Those interested can contact Kim at Kim@issaquahfoodbank.org.

The organization’s food bank is for residents living in the 98027, 98029, 98075 and 98059 zip codes and households can come once a week.

The food bank is a self-select grocery store where households select from a variety of fresh produce, fruits, meat, dairy, bakery items, and canned goods. Those with special dietary needs also can contact the food bank for help.

Depending on household size, families can have 2-4 bags of groceries each visit.

The clothing bank serves 10 zip codes in the greater Issaquah area. As with the food bank, households can come once a week.

The clothing bank has a selection of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, as well as basic household items. It only displays clean and like-new items including coats, shoes and seasonal clothing.

A household can take two bags of self-selected items each week.

In addition, the organization provides once-a-month toiletry bags to residents in 98027, 98029, 98075 and 98059 zip codes. The bags are different each month and can include items such as cleaning supplies, laundry soap, shampoo, soap, toothpaste or lotion.

New clients can get a private informational tour to learn about the programs and access food, clothing and toiletry items. An appointment for a tour can be scheduled with Rebecca at 425-392-4123 or Rebecca@issaquahfoodbank.org.

Seniors who have mobility issues or have a disability or illness that makes it difficult to stand in line can arrive 15 minutes before any of the client service shifts and be helped immediately and not have to wait in line. Those with such needs also can call and let the food and clothing bank know when they are coming.

Those unable to come in the morning should consider visiting the food bank on Thursday from noon to 1 p.m., the slowest day and time of the week. Staff and volunteers also are able to help people carry their groceries.

Client service hours are 5-7 p.m. Mondays (closed on March 31) and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. Donor collections are accepted from 8 a.m. top 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. More information is available at 425-392-4123. Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank is located at 179 1st Ave. S.E., Issaquah.
