Food Program

Food Market

Hopelink’s Food Program operates five food markets (formerly food banks) with locations in Bellevue, Redmond, Shoreline, Kirkland, and Carnation. Clients can shop at the food market as they would in a typical grocery store by choosing the items that best fit their household needs. The food program also includes a Mobile Market and a home delivery service, for homebound clients.

All shoppers must be enrolled to the food program although clients can shop during the enrollment processing time which may take up to 2 weeks. To enroll in the Hopelink food program, please call the Hopelink Center serving your area to schedule a quick and easy phone appointment or enroll online by completing the form below. Once enrolled, clients can visit the market nearest their home 2 times per month.  Appointments are strongly encouraged as only the last market hour of each shopping day is open to walk-ins.

The Food Enrollment Form is translated into 7 languages.  To find help in a language not listed, please call your nearest Hopelink Center. Please note enrollments must be renewed every 12 months. 

 

Hopelink Mobile Market distributes food around the community at various locations and times throughout the month.

Please check the calendar for dates and times
