About Clark County Food Bank
Clark County Food Bank’s grantmaking is built around a single purpose: alleviating hunger and its root causes in Clark County and Southwest Washington. In the latest grants list, its largest award went to Fish of Vancouver for $2,586,290 in 2024, followed closely by Saint Vincent De Paul USA at $2,270,494 in 2024. The pattern is not occasional support but sustained funding for local hunger-relief providers that distribute food, support neighbors in need, and keep basic food access operating across the region. That approach shows up across multiple partner organizations. Angels of God received $1,221,295 in 2024, while Salvation Army Vancouver was funded at $625,894 in 2024. Other recurring recipients include Clark County Adventist Community Services, North County Community Food Bank, and Fish of Orchards Inc., all tied to the same mission of food access in Southwest Washington. The foundation’s work is place-based and rooted in direct service, with grants concentrated on organizations serving food-insecure households, seniors, children, and low-income families. Its public charity structure and local scope align with a funding model centered on community food support rather than broad regional or national philanthropy.
What Clark County Food Bank Funds
Hunger relief is the core of Clark County Food Bank’s grantmaking, and the purpose language on its recent grants is consistent: funds are awarded "to alleviate hunger in SW Washington" or, in one case, "to alleviate hunger." That focus appears in support for community-based food providers such as North County Community Food Bank, which received $493,873 in 2024 for that purpose. The foundation also funds emergency food distribution through partners that operate food access points in local neighborhoods. Mustard Seed Faith Food Pantry received $324,027 in 2024, reflecting support for pantry-style distribution. Community food access extends to organizations serving specific cities and towns. Neighbors Helping Neighbors in Ridgefield received $274,376 in 2024, and Woodland Action Center in Woodland received $182,351 in 2024. Meals on Wheels in Camas also appears in the recent grants list, showing support for food delivery to people who may have difficulty accessing standard distribution sites.
How Clark County Food Bank Gives
Clark County Food Bank’s grant sizes cluster around a fairly wide local-service range: the 25th percentile is $41,830, the median is $100,964, and the 75th percentile is $326,101. The recent grants list shows multi-year support to the same local partners, including Fish of Vancouver, Saint Vincent De Paul USA, Angels of God, Salvation Army Vancouver, and others, which points to recurring operating-style support rather than one-off awards. The organization is a public charity, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. A public event sponsorship program, Taste & See Sponsorship Opportunities, is listed as accepting unsolicited interest.
