In 1930 a family was burned out of their home and neighbors gathered what would be needed to help them restart. At the end of this "project" there was enough left over to help more families thus the – Auburn Community Chest – was formed. The Auburn Community Chest was housed in private homes, fully operated by volunteer staff. In 1950, we became a member of United Way – which increased our ability for financial support and it helped to organize our program and have continued to grown ever since! Our work today is the same that the citizens of Auburn set out to do in 1930 – some 80 years ago…we are an agency that provides over 2.1 million in services (food and monetary assistance for energy bills) to those in need. In 2017 and 2018 - we opened the Ray of Hope Resource Center and the Sundown Center for our homeless support. Through United Way – we have found ways to measure our success through surveys and questionnaires and goal setting. We work in conjunction with:

South King County Food Bank Coalition
The King County Food Bank Coalition
Washington State Food Coalition
The Anti Hunger Nutrition Coalition
South King County Human Services Coalition
Executive Alliance
King County Housing Authority
United Way

Approximately 140 families are served each day…
