This sheet has Street Addresses / Phone Numbers / Hours of Operation of Food Banks, lists websites like Washington Connections which is used to file someone's SNAP application for food assistance in Washington State, and has the phone number for Sea Mar Community Health Center's free SNAP assistance hotline which can be used to have a health representative guide you through the process of filling out an online SNAP application.

This resource can be digitally viewed or given to someone who is in need of services at an appointment or before they're discharged from their inpatient hospital stay. Food Bank locations listed stretch from Yakima Washington to Pasco Washington which can be accessed through Highway 182 or Highway 240.

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist / Registered Dietitian / Registered Dietician, we are held to a standard on Ethical conduct in the Healthcare Setting. Without a doubt, it is Un-Ethical to offer someone Nutrition Education when they're struggling to eat a health promotional amount of food in one day because of sudden or long-term Food Insecurity. It is within the Scope of Practice for RDNs / RDs to help patients apply for SNAP, gain resources about housing services, and inform patients of which Food Banks they live close to. This is the perfect resource to help someone in Eastern Washington find access to state / regional / national support services.
