This is a church owned food bank and bulk shopping location owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of…read moreLatter-day Saints. Thus, it has two separate purposes. They are very friendly and accommodating. Everyone that is working here is a volunteer and/or serving a mission through the church. Thus, there are limited hours. It is not like a regular grocery store. First, I'll explain the bulk shopping. There are gigantic sized pantry items and staples made for food storage and emergency food use; think Costco sized or business sized items. These are available for purchase to the public. Costs are cheap. Second, there is a food bank where members of the church are able to get food assistance. There is also land where one may garden and pay for the water for a small fee.

This is a great place to come and buy bulk long term storage food. It's down a dead end street and…read morethey have parking available, you will need a car. The first door you'll see is a food bank that is for members in need. It's a really cool system that they call a welfare system it's a store that members can shop in when they need food because they lost a job or are sick. It's not for free though they do require that they volunteer in order to get food. It's funded entirely by the church members. Members are encouraged to skip two meals a month and donate the money they would have used for those meals to the welfare fund. In poking my head in there I saw milk canned foods and more it was very cool. No Healy from the government at all. The people there volunteer and the land that the food is grown on is also owned by the church processed by the church and shipped to their store houses. On the other side is the area where you can buy bulk foods. You cannot buy gallons of milk or canned apple sauce it's not for sale it's all given away. As a non member or a member you can buy low-fat powdered milk not instant milk. Berry drink mix, Hot Chocolate mix , spaghetti bits, macaroni, white flour, hard red wheat hard white wheat, oats, quit oats, black beans, great northern beans, pinto beans, white rice, dried carrots, peanut butter, honey, sugar, granola, pancake mix, potato flakes instant potatoes and dried apples not the soft sort of moist ones you buy in in bulk bins. But the crisp ones you buy in snack pouches. They are very tasty they had a sample they let us try. It's all non profit they genuinely want to help their members and non members. So a 5.5 pound 30 year shelf no 10 can of hard white wheat is $3.50 a can it's packed and will last 30 plus years. The 28 oz nonfat dry milk had 20 year shelf life in its very thick Mylar bag and it's $4. The very tasty got to buy one as snacking food 1 pound no.10 can of dried apples is $11.25 a can. It's $19 a can form other over the counter brands and $36.49 for a can of freeze dried apples from thrive life. The people that are there to help you are all volunteers as are very very kind people. It's their calling to help. I went in for the first time after paying $8 for a can of instant mashed potatoes on sale at the store paying $42 for a can of freeze dried mozzarella $26 for a can of tomato powder only spending $112.00 for 3 boxes of no 10 cans and some pouches of drink mix along with some honey. I was so happy because if I was to buy from a for profit vender I would have had to pay at least $500. The only bad part was that I didn't get a can of of potato flakes that I orders and was charged for. But honestly I'm not mad because I got a very good deal and they even took it out to my car for me.

I came across 237 restaurant and decided to try it out. when I tell you that the food was soooooo gooooddd know that I am not over exaggerating. Today we got egusi (chicken) with yam fufu (she puts the spice on the side so you can adjust how spicy you want your food) and it hit the spot. if you are looking for authentic Africa cuisine check her out she will take care of you. we will definitely be going back to try the grill fish and chicken and everything else she has to offer.

I got stuck in Seattle as a travel nurse when the pandemic began (vaccine allergy/anaphylaxis) and have since had to give up my career. And as the song goes, people are strange when you're a stranger. Everyone there has been so kind and welcoming to me, even when I'm a little cantankerous, because I'm used to running the show wherever I go (head nurse/charge nurse/educator). Patient and tolerant when I'm at my worst, friendly and conversant when I'm at my best, they have softened the blow of what I've experienced since losing it all. I commend their professionalism, and sweet demeanor, it makes all the difference in the world when you're down and out. Thank you again, everyone of you! Andrea...

We lost all our holiday moneys along with our rent and because we didn't have our ID all we could get was an emergency bag .all that contained was a few can good and some crackers and some stuff I didn't know how to make so we didn't get the things that everyone else received and they had our info in the computer already. They said they had to make sure we were not lying about our address what kind of shit is that who would lie to get help for the holidays I feel they go way overboard about proof of who you say you are. The management there is poor msnsgement. To deny people and then they pick what they think you will eat. Don't care for the people that work the front desk very rude and no compassion for the community
