The corgis are coming!

A corgi beach party will take place Saturday, August 23rd, on the beach south of the Chance A La Mer access road here in Ocean Shores. A $25 registration fee will get you a tote bag, a T-shirt, a corgi bandana, and the opportunity for your corgi to participate in events such as the corgi costume contest, corgi races, and the all-important fluffiest butt contest.

Don’t have a corgi? All dogs and their humans are welcome to come watch the fun and games.

Everyone attending is encouraged to bring unopened dry or wet pet food to help restock the pet food shelves at the Ocean Shores Food Bank, which last year provided over 7,700 pounds of pet food for their guests’ feline and canine companions.

Flag Day 2025

Ocean Shores held its 25th Annual Flag Day Parade on June 14th, and once again, the food bank was honored to participate. Such a wonderful community event! Thanks for all the smiles as we passed by.

Volunteer Drivers Needed

The food bank is looking for volunteers who are able to use their own vehicles to help pick up donations from local grocery stores and other organizations that help keep our shelves stocked. If you have time a couple of times a month to help out, please contact food bank volunteer coordinator Kathy Baker at 253-332-7583.

Recently, a guest sent us a lovely note. It read, “I am so thankful you all are answering a prayer. I really appreciate that during this hard time. Thank you. I will see you all this week. Have a blessed day.”

We truly appreciate the opportunity to serve our fabulous guests. Getting to know them and sharing smiles and stories is what makes it all worthwhile.

Be a Hero! Donate Today!

We are looking for a hero. And we think it might be you!

There is no doubt that we are faced with uncertainty and challenges. With the elimination of government programs and an increasing number of households coming to the food bank for help, we are purchasing more food than ever, but at higher prices.

Which is why we need a hero like you. We’re not asking you to do anything dramatic. Just a donation. Any amount that makes sense for you. Because that’s how we’ll meet this challenge together.

The Ocean Shores Food Bank wouldn’t be around if it weren’t for the generosity of people like you. We are honored by your support, and to remind you that because we are an all-volunteer organization, 97% of your donation will go toward providing food.  

Will you send a gift today, so no one in our community goes hungry? We can’t think of a more important cause than that.
