An essential lifeline for over 40 years.
Founded in 1980 by a coalition of churches, social service agencies, and individuals, Bremerton Foodline has grown from an all-volunteer emergency food operation into a comprehensive distribution hub serving Kitsap and North Mason counties.
Food Security For All
To provide food assistance and other services to reduce hunger and improve self-sufficiency in our community.
One Community. One Goal.
To enrich the lives of our neighbors in need — building a Kitsap County where no one goes hungry.
Equity
Everyone deserves access to nutritious food regardless of background, income, or circumstance. We serve all who come through our doors.
Diversity
We celebrate the richness of our community. Our services, staff, and volunteers reflect the diverse population we proudly serve.
Compassion
We treat every visitor with dignity and respect. No judgment, no barriers — just neighbors helping neighbors.
From a small warehouse to a community hub.
Founded by a Coalition
A coalition of churches, social service agencies, and individuals came together to establish Bremerton Foodline as an all-volunteer operation providing emergency food assistance and referrals.
USDA Commodities Distributor
A major milestone — Bremerton Foodline became an official USDA Commodities distributor, significantly expanding our capacity to serve the region.
A Comprehensive Distribution Hub
What began as a sparsely equipped food storage warehouse now serves nearly 9,000 households and over 11,000 individuals annually across Kitsap and North Mason counties.
Serving our community since 1980.
