Mission

IT IS THE MISSION OF THRUSTON COUNTY FOOD BANK TO END HUNGER WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

Activities or mission (Part I)

IT IS THE MISSION OF THE THURSTON COUNTY FOOD BANK TO END HUNGER WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

  • FOR OVER 50 YEARS, THE THURSTON COUNTY FOOD BANK HAS SERVED THE COMMUNITY WITH THE MISSION TO ELIMINATE HUNGER IN THE SPIRIT OF NEIGHBOR HELPING NEIGHBOR. THROUGH A NETWORK OF PANTRIES, SATELLITE LOCATIONS, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, WE WORK TO ENSURE THAT INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES HAVE ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOOD AND ESSENTIAL RESOURCES. BY PRIORITIZING DIGNITY, ACCESSIBILITY, AND EFFICIENCY, WE STRIVE TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO FOOD SECURITY AND CREATE A HEALTHIER, MORE RESILIENT COMMUNITY. IN 2024, THURSTON COUNTY FOOD BANK'S PANTRY LOCATIONS SERVED OVER 37,723 INDIVIDUALS, PROVIDING RELIABLE ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOOD AND ESSENTIAL ITEMS. AS THE NEED FOR FOOD ASSISTANCE CONTINUES TO GROW, OUR PANTRIES REMAIN A VITAL RESOURCE FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES SEEKING SUPPORT.

    Expenses $7,655,994

  • OUR SATELLITE DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM CONTINUES TO GROW, REACHING OVER 14,872 INDIVIDUALS. BY ESTABLISHING AND STRENGTHENING THESE DISTRIBUTION SITES, WE HAVE IMPROVED ACCESSIBILITY FOR THOSE FACING TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGES AND OTHER BARRIERS, ENSURING THAT MORE PEOPLE CAN ACCESS THE FOOD THEY NEED IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. IN 2024, WE ALSO INCORPORATED OTHER BANK SERVICES INTO OUR HOME DELIVERY PROGRAM FOR SENIORS AND FAMILIES IN TUMWATER. THIS EXPANSION PROVIDED ESSENTIAL HYGIENE AND HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS TO THOSE UNABLE TO VISIT OUR LOCATIONS, IMPROVING THEIR OVERALL WELL-BEING AND MAINTAINING OUR COMMITMENT TO OFFERING COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT BEYOND FOOD ASSISTANCE.

    Expenses $1,630,475

  • AS A REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION ORGANIZATION (RDO), WE DISTRIBUTED 3,489,900 POUNDS OF FOOD IN COLLABORATION WITH 63 PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. THIS LARGE-SCALE EFFORT PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN STRENGTHENING FOOD SECURITY INITIATIVES ACROSS OUR 4 COUNTY REGION, ENSURING THAT FOOD BANKS, PANTRIES, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS HAD THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO SERVE THEIR CLIENTS EFFECTIVELY. THROUGH OUR RDO WORK, WE RECORDED OVER 563,000 INDIVIDUAL VISITS TO OUR 63 PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS, HIGHLIGHTING THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR FOOD AND ESSENTIAL SERVICES. AS WE CONTINUE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY, THE THURSTON COUNTY FOOD BANK REMAINS DEDICATED TO ADDRESSING FOOD INSECURITY WITH DIGNITY AND EFFICIENCY, CONTINUALLY ADAPTING TO MEET THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

    Expenses $6,648,868

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
