It was a Wednesday afternoon in September 2020 when the first 36 food boxes arrived in Poulsbo, Washington. Pastor Gary Fogelquist had brought a few extra boxes from Washington’s Auburn City Church distribution site to help with feeding families in Poulsbo.
By 5 p.m. that same day, arrangements with Auburn City Church resulted in 84 boxes for the next week. By 6 p.m., the church board voted to get involved in regular food distribution. By 7 p.m., Poulsbo leaders confirmed with Auburn City Church leaders they would receive weekly food boxes to share.
