Focus on Service

Kathy Fladmoe works in the office and checks in clients at Concern for Neighbors Food Bank in Mountlake Terrace. Concern For Neighbors Food Bank is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that collects and distributes food to low income families. The Food Bank currently serves an average of 110+ households per week. It services families in Mount Lake Terrace, Brier, and parts of Lynnwood. Every Tuesday from 9:30A-11:30A Kathy volunteers and gets to know clients on a first name basis. People tell Kathy that Concern for Neighbors is one of the friendliest foodbanks. It makes her feel good to volunteer and treat people with respect and help without making people feel embarrassed. Kathy says “It’s a happy place and I enjoy meeting other people.” While the food bank serves all kinds of individuals Kathy has observed that it is mostly senior populations and those in poverty. As Kathy puts it “food is expensive and they get a variety of healthy food there.” Kathy says that the thing they most could use is someone to speak Russian and interpret for the families and clients that need this service.
