The Auburn Food Bank

• In May 2025, the food bank served about 135 households per day. Now, 185 – 210 households is a normal day. That’s about a 48% increase year-over-year.
• Food is distributed every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
• The food bank offers a hot meal program, holiday baskets, a backpack program, limited home delivery to in-bound shut-ins, job rehab and training.
• Financial assistance is provided for those in jeopardy of losing their home, having their water shut off, or in need of emergency prescription help (one time a year).
• The food bank also operates the Ray of Hope Resource Center and the Sundown Shelter for Auburn’s homeless community.
• 98% of every dollar is put back into helping others in the community—only 2% is used for operations.

Adult & Teen Challenge PacWest Graham Women’s Campus 

Located in Graham, Washington, this campus provides residential, long-term recovery and discipleship for women suffering from drug and alcohol addiction. Current initiatives include:

1. Classroom Expansion and Remodel
   Our current classroom is an original two-car garage that was converted into a learning space many years ago. To better serve the women in our program, we are beginning a major remodel that includes:
   • Installing new trusses for structural improvement
   • Expanding the space to create a larger, more functional classroom
   • Adding dedicated office space for staff support and counseling
   • Creating a more welcoming and effective learning environment
2. Safety and Facility Improvements
   We are also replacing our existing wraparound deck, which is outdated and has areas that are no longer safe. This project is essential to ensure the safety of everyone who visits and participates in our programs.
3. Sustaining Operations and 2026 Goals
   In addition to capital improvements, we are seeking support to help meet our 2026 operating budget so we can continue providing quality services for the women we serve. We currently have 19 women living at the campus, this includes students in the one year residential program and interns that decided to stay on for an additional year.

The Arc of King County

Through supporting living, information and family support, and advocacy programs, the Arc assists those living with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Auburn City Seventh-Day Adventist Church

• This church is one of the only—if not THE ONLY—location in Auburn where people can go to get a hot shower, clothing, and a meal. The church opens its doors to people in need every Tuesday.
• Unreliable transportation is a leading cause of homelessness; without it, people often lose their jobs, cannot get their children to school, etc. Pastor Ofa and his congregation purchase vehicles as they are able and also request donations of vehicles. They provide these vehicles to families and individuals who no longer have reliable transportation.
