Ballard Food Bank has purchased a nearby annex and plans renovations to both buildings as demand for its services has grown 300% since 2021.

That seems… bad

According to Ballard Food Bank, when it opened its permanent Leary Way facility five years ago, it anticipated demand would increase by about 30%. Instead, demand has grown by 300%, which the organization attributes to the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, and reductions to federal food assistance programs. The food bank says its current building is operating at nearly double its intended capacity.
