We believe everyone should have access to nutritious food and the dignity that comes with it. Your gift makes it possible to provide nutritious food including fresh dairy, eggs, fruits and vegetables, culturally familiar food, and other essential items for the 1500 households a week who shop at the Edmonds Food Bank.
It’s easy to donate online, you can make a one-time gift or make an ongoing impact with a recurring monthly donation. All contributions are fully tax-deductible. Our tax identification number is EIN 84-2209131.
You can also mail in donations or drop them off at the food bank from Monday to Friday, between 9 AM and 3 PM. If you’re sending a check, please make it out to the Edmonds Food Bank. Our mailing address is:
Edmonds Food Bank
PO Box 131

Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs): An RMD is the mandatory minimum amount you must withdraw each year from your tax-deferred retirement account. The starting age is 73 for those born between 1951 and 1959, and age 75 for those born in 1960 or later.
Qualified Charitable Contributions (QCDs): QCDs are direct, tax-free transfer of funds from your retirement account directly to a charitable organization and count toward satisfying your RMD requirement. You must be at least 70½ years old at the time of the distribution, and the 2026 limit is $111,000 per person. The main benefit is that the amount donated is excluded from your taxable income.
