Magnuson Park Community Food Pantry is a collaboration with Solid Ground, University District Food Bank, and Mercy Housing Northwest. Our Magnuson pantry serves residents of Mercy and Santos and Solid ground housing as well as nearby community members. The Magnuson Park neighborhood was designated a food desert and was an area of concern for hunger due to the limited public transportation options and lack of surrounding grocery stores. 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.
