  Thurston County Food Bank

  This annual event is our Chapter’s biggest fundraiser of the year.  Your donations and bids will raise funds for the Chapter’s operations budget and educational programming. Supporting this activity benefits our members!  You are encouraged to invite friends and family members to attend and participate in this fun and festive special event.  

  The PNW Chapter of SGMP is delighted to support the Thurston County Food Bank, a non-profit organization which prioritizes total health; physical, household, mental and emotional. They are committed to reducing barriers to accessing community resources so that individuals and families can stay out of crisis, remain housed or seek housing and improve health.

  Charity Presentation

  For more than 50 years the Thurston County Food Bank has remained focused on improving the quality of life and the stability of our community by expanding services of food, non-food and wraparound resources to meet the growing needs in our community. Led by a volunteer Board of Directors, a skeletal staff and hundreds of volunteers, they are able to keep the administrative overhead low to ensure that your donation is used to purchase food and support needed programs. The Thurston County Food Bank views this as a huge responsibility and endeavor to earn and keep your trust as a donor and supporter.
