Food bank volunteers keep Mukilteo families fed for holidays

MUKILTEO — At the Mukilteo Food Bank, the families keep coming. So the volunteers keep the food coming.

About 75 people help the food bank make distributions twice a month. They range in age from high school freshmen to 20-year retirees, and all took time out of their holiday week to make sure families in their community were fed. The food bank has no paid employees.

On Monday, Roger Long directed traffic. A retired accountant, he has volunteered with the food bank for more than seven years and is now its treasurer.

In his time there, he’s seen an increase in need. Once the COVID-19 pandemic began, the amount of people using the food bank skyrocketed, and the numbers haven’t let up since.
