St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Edmonds will hold a popup food distribution event on Wednesday, Oct. 8, from 3-4 p. m. The church provides free food from the Edmonds Food Bank, including fresh produce, meat, and prepackaged items, to assist individuals facing food insecurity.

Visitors can select the items they need, with the distribution truck parked on the north side of the church located at 21405 82nd Pl. W. St. Alban’s also features a community “Blessings Food Pantry,” open all day, offering a variety of food items for free. This pantry encourages local residents to both take from and contribute to the food supply, fostering community support.

The church's efforts are part of a broader commitment to combat hunger in the Edmonds area. Food insecurity remains a pressing issue, with many families relying on local resources for support. By hosting this event, St. Alban’s strengthens its role as a vital resource in the community.
