Food 4 All strives to meet the nutritional needs of hungry children and families at times when other resources are not available. We are a stable source of healthy foods for those who need it most.
Food 4 All is more than a program, it is a growing movement to ensure that every child, senior, and family on the Key Peninsula and Gig Harbor has reliable access to nutritious food. What began years ago as Food Backpacks 4 Kids, a simple effort to send weekend meals home with students, has since blossomed into a comprehensive, community - powered initiative committed to both immediate relief and long-term resilience.
Skoolie Foundation's mission is rooted in compassion and dedicated to making a meaningful impact on our community. Through innovative programs, such as the Mobile Shelter program providing secure homes, the Skoolie Hygiene Haven offering dignified facilities for the homeless, and universal food assistance across all our endeavors, we address the fundamental needs of those we serve. Our commitment to inclusivity extends to creating safe spaces for women, children, the LGBTQIQQ community, and our honored veterans. At Skoolie Foundation, we envision a community where every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered, fostering a future where homelessness is replaced with shelter, hunger with nourishment, and diversity is celebrated with unwavering respect.
Founded in 1975, Caring for Kids began as a small clothing bank in the back of the old Lakeview Elementary School in Lakewood, WA. The organization was inspired by the heartfelt dedication of Diane Formoso, a school bus driver who recognized the profound needs of her students. One Christmas, a little boy named Michael tearfully shared with Diane that Santa wouldn’t be visiting his house because his mother had to pay rent. Determined to help, Diane made sure Michael’s family received Christmas gifts, marking the humble beginnings of Caring for Kids.
Under Diane’s leadership as founder and executive director, the organization has grown significantly, addressing various needs within the community. Each initiative started with a single story of need, expanding into comprehensive programs to support children and families.
