Good Cheer Food Bank serves an average of 850 families a month (more in the winter months) in an environment which provides clients with healthy food choices (including fresh, locally grown produce) in a grocery store-like setting which preserves client dignity. Accessing the Food Bank New clients are greeted at the check-in desk and asked for a piece of official mail that shows their name and home address on South Whidbey. If they do not have a permanent address, they are noted as homeless. The only other information needed is how many people are living in the household and their ages. Good Cheer does not ask for proof of income because Food Lifeline and Northwest Harvest who provide thousands of pounds of free food to us do not allow that to be a part of the determination process. Once all the information is entered in our database, the client is given a certain amount of points to use in the Food Bank. See details on the Food Bank webpage. For more information, visit the Good Cheer website, email carol@goodcheer.org, or call 360-221-6454. Info may differ due to COVID-19 Last Updated on September 18, 2019
