About Nourish Pierce County

Nourish Pierce County is a nonprofit organization providing food to people in need since 1973. Our mission is to provide nutritious food and support services to people in need with compassion, dignity, and respect. With six food bank locations and an award-winning mobile food bank that serves sixteen additional sites, Nourish serves tens of thousands of individuals totaling hundreds of thousands of visits each year.

With assistance from hundreds of volunteers, our goal is to provide each person or family with enough food to make three nutritious meals a day for three days. All Nourish food banks operate on a self‑serve model, allowing guests to select the foods that best meet their family’s needs. Guests are asked to limit their visits to once a week, but no one in need is turned away.
