Volunteers of America Western Washington Review

What a service the VOA does. The volunteers are priceless gems. Thank you for all you do.

I The people Of Volunteer s of America because they Really Do Carw

Great options, every single volunteer was happy and helpful.

If you are in a rut this is the place to go for some food items.

Went to the dispute resolution part and have had them help me so much, good program and people who care. Anne is my navigator and she's amazing.

GREAT PLACE 2 GO WHEN U NEED FOOD
FRIENDLY STAFF

First of all I would like to thank God and the volunteers of America food Bank you helped me in a bad situation when I really needed food which helped me to be able to survive I don't need the food bank much anymore I'd rather someone else more needy take my spot but thank you for everything that you have done for me God bless you and may you keep doing good work

Not the best food bank. But I only lived 3 blocks away.

They are so wonderful and always happy and helpful.... I'm grateful there here for us! They make you feel like you matter!

Truckers are not welcome. They will unload you on the road,only if you have an appointment. Otherwise throw you donation in the garbage!

It's food when you need it but a lot is past due and meats are slim. Very nice staff.

I volunteer here & love helping people. Great food bank.

Starting in april wed and thursdays start at 10 not 9.

Easy to see and to access. It is on a main street, on Broadway in South Everett, Washington State. Very friendly staff and of course the free food, a bug plus and upstairs is the resource center where you can get emergency vouchers for food, shelter and cars. You also get while upstairs, advice, lists of resources such as the working women's wardrobe at the YWCA, free bus tickets, a care package of personal hygiene products such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, underarm deodorant, dental floss, mouthwash and more. Worth checking out! So if you're ever anywhere in Everett, Washington and in need of resources, The Volunteers of America Food Bank is the place to go. Very helpful!

Thank goodness this is here. So many elderly people I know need this to survive. Food or medicine is a not so unusual choice for Seniors. VOA food bank gives canned goods, meat, paper products and locally sourced fresh food to those in need. God Bless them

Really great community food bank. Staff is very helpful and nice

Super nice folks there serving the community to ensure that people stay fed. They really are kind folk.

I have to laugh at one of the guys who posted by the name of Jared. Talks about being homeless and the food that he was GIVEN was terrible. I went here the other day and was pleased with my free food to help my family out. Maybe if he stopped talking about stealing and trading his clothes out at value village and spent less money at Starbucks and Vape places he would be able to afford food he found decent.

Very crowded but if u come with patience. You will be fine. Worth all the great food u get for your family and you.

It was worth the walk. I really wanted to go, so, that's cool.

When the bills have been high and food was low and payday was a few days away there was the Volunteers of America Food Bank. The staff is wonderful you're never made to feel like you're a loser because you're there. Sometimes you just need a helping hand to make it thru. Thank you VOA...

Very helpful in a pinch but not always a good selection of meat.

A fare amount of food is given away. America is hungry, volinters of america trys to fead every one and cares. If you are strugling with your food bill, i would recomend VOA , they can help you. Thanks Warren.

This food bank (and others in the Everett area) has made the difference for myself and many other people who are at times struggling to make ends meet! (Especially considering the current state of the EBT program).

As the name suggests, Volunteers are the key to success and I have personally seen many who give tirelessly with a caring heart!

If you can, give! Donations of time are one of the more valuable resources within any volunteer organization.

Because they always lend a helping hand whatever your needs may be. Thanks VOA

Friend Bob arranged an opportunity for our church to serve. Important work done well.

I appreciate that we are able to choose our own food as I have special dietary needs. I've recently been going to a neighborhood satellite location. They set up and take down 2 Mondays a month at my church First Baptist. I have a hard time keeping track of which Mondays. There are other satellite locations as well. This program is most helpful to me as I don't drive. The food bank at First Baptist is so near I can walk! Yay! Big help! Things are different at the N. Broadway location. Not sure I like it? Tho we didn't have to wait long on the 1st. Not sure if this is customary? Praise the Lord for help!

The VOA is an amazing resource for anybody that needs help with food or needs additional resources. The folks are friendly, and love to help.

They run 211 for our entire county... Crazy cool....

Very friendly people, quick unloading. Make sure you get the right directions.
Its in back alley, between Broadway and Mobard pointed north. get on Broadway (driving either north or south) and head west on 15th St. It is wide enough for any size truck to make the turn. On 15th take your first right. It's an unnamed alley. Once you cross 13th street, we are the first building on the right.
That should get you there..

The VOA , located in North Everett on Broadway, is a food bank that usually has really nice volunteers and you definitely get what you need. More than any other food bank, that I know of, in the Everett area.I believe you can receive services once a month.
I strongly recommend bringing a cart if you're taking the bus or walking.(I've had to leave items behind because I couldn't carry it all myself, on more than one occasion.)
Prepare to sit, waiting for your number to be called. It's not uncommon to wait an hour or so. So I also recommend getting someone to watch your kids and not bringing them with if possible. - But I promise, if you need help with food, it's definitely worth the hassle.

Take more than 1hour waiting. The people are nice. Thanks

If you need services or food they help as much as they can.

Helping the less fortunate. They need our support & donations.

We got a lot of food we really needed and quickly too! I like this location

Good variety of foods. Well managed system to get thru line. Helpers to guide you and carry food out to ur car for u!! Love this place

Good place to volunteer with our group. Glad to help serve those in our local community.

My wife and I love this place. They help so much with food and other things that we need. Including cat food!
The staff are always friendly and they help you as well.
Thank you VOA for being there for us and everyone else.

Went there Feb. and a man at Dairy refrigerator jumped me(I'm 64) and he works there. 6ft and thin.

I give the VOA volunteers much respect. It's a busy place, as it's the distribution center for snohomish. Joan is amazing, she orchestrates it all. So well done, and she leads with the utmost respect to her clients and volunteers. We need more people like her walking this planet. To the volunteers, Thank you isn't enough. Please know you are all greatly appreciated. A salute. To the rest of us, donate when you can what you can, it is all appreciated. Remember VOA Foodbank accepts food for the fur babies too, as well as diaper and baby wipes for the babies. If you have a question about acceptable donation please contact your local Volunteers of America.

Excellent service.
Friendly, courteous, efficient staff.

We donate fresh produce from local gardens, but the people who take in the donation are not very friendly, which make us feel unwelcome. Maybe this place doesn't need the donation. We will donate our produce somewhere else.

Their hours of operation are different from what they have listed.
I went to the Volunteers of America yesterday May 27, 2020 at 2:00pm and found them closed. The website says they were open from 10am to 3pm.

They are a great community resource. However, the close at 3:00pm. Not 3:30 like the website says.
