About Us

Since 1982, Emergency Food Network’s dedicated staff, passionate volunteers, and generous individual, corporate, and foundation donors have worked to fulfill our mission “to provide Pierce County with a consistent, diverse, and nutritious food supply so that no person goes hungry.

EFN leverages donated, purchased, and government food with produce grown at Mother Earth Farm to distribute 5 meals for $1. Each month, EFN provides our 75+ partner food pantries, meal sites, and shelters with more than one million pounds of food, at no cost to them, and delivers food to more than 500 families through our Home Delivery Program. In 2021, EFN distributed 15.5 million pounds of food and supported our partners in serving 1.4 million visits.
