We are so grateful for the community's support of our work. Thank you for selecting TCFB as the beneficiary of the West Olympia Rotary 2026 Dueling Pianos!

We are so thrilled to award $7,500 to the Thurston County Food Bank as this year's beneficiary of West Olympia Rotary's 2026 Dueling Pianos!

The Thurston County Food Bank has been a cornerstone of our community since 1972, working to eliminate hunger in the spirit of neighbors helping neighbors. Today, they operate two food pantries and a 25,000-square-foot warehouse distributing fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable foods across a four-county hunger-relief network. Through satellite and mobile food banks, FORKids school backpacks, summer lunch programs, they're constantly working to reduce barriers and make sure no one in our community goes without food.

At West Olympia Rotary Club, we believe that when our neighbors have enough to eat, our whole community is stronger!

Do you have paper or plastic grocery bags? Our pantries can use them! Drop them off at our Olympia or Lacey pantries where shoppers can use them to transport their items home.

We can also reuse your egg cartons! Our warehouse and both pantries are looking for 12 pack, paperboard cartons, so if you have some, drop them off at any of our locations!
