Annual Fall Food Drive Helps Take Hunger Off the Menu

We’re blown away by the generosity of our clients and team members who gave back big during our 2025 Fall Food Drive! Throughout October, they collected more than $60,000 and 20,100 non-perishable food items for people facing food insecurity in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and California.

Thanks to their generosity, we made gifts to more than 82 area food banks and food assistance programs handpicked by our teams who live and work in those communities.
 
With groceries at an all-time high and a historic government shutdown affecting vital assistance programs, these donations help put food on the table for the people who need it most. For the 10th year, we collected food and cash at our branches and in our support team offices. From cash donations to canned fruit and boxed pasta dinners, our clients and employees leaned in to help their neighbors.

Our Fall Food Drive is one of many initiatives we champion to support the communities we call home. Team members also give in other key ways, including volunteering thousands of hours each year through Community Connections. This program provides all employees paid time off to volunteer during work hours with the charities and causes of their choice—many of which are food banks and food assistance programs.
