Blaine Food Bank has started distributing diapers and baby formula for families with children. The funding comes from a $800,000 grant from the Healthy Children’s Fund, a childcare and early development property tax passed by Whatcom County voters in November 2022.
The grant is being distributed to all food banks in the county and is expected to last until February 2026. Blaine is the second largest food bank in the county, Blaine Food Bank director Lisa Dobbin said.
People can visit the food bank just for diapers and formula, and those who haven’t visited the food bank before just need to sign up during distribution days, Dobbin said.
Blaine Food Bank, 500 C Street, is open 5-7 p.m. Wednesday and from 9 a.m. to noon Friday and Monday.
