Magnuson Park Community Food Pantry is a collaboration with Solid Ground, University District Food Bank, and Mercy Housing Northwest.

To try and combat the food insecurity in this area, we opened a pantry with a small variety of food including some fresh produce. Join the Y every Wednesday as a volunteer for the Magnuson Park Community Food Pantry. Volunteers will assist in the set up, clean up and distribution of food items to local families and community members.
