Pasifika Food Networks

Food support program

Pasifika Food Networks is our food distribution program aimed at providing Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander families facing food insecurity with not just food, but culturally-relevant food.

How it Works:

**This program is currently PAUSED.**

Through a partnership with United Way King County and Door Dash, we are able to provide food box delivery twice a month to families who are living within 15 miles of our office in Federal Way. 

We are currently able to deliver to the following areas:

  • Federal Way
  • Edgewood
  • Kent
  • Auburn
  • Fife
  • SeaTac
  • Sumner
  • Tacoma
  • Covington
  • Tukwila
  • Puyallup
  • Burien

Thanks to community partners, we are able to provide food boxes to families outside of our delivery range in South King County. Our partners who currently support with food distribution are:

🔔 Office Closure Reminder

We will be closed from June 5th to June 12th for a Pasifika Wellness Week. We have been given the opportunity for many of our PICA staff to attend the FESTPAC Celebration in Honolulu, Hawai’i during this time.  
 
For PICA, this week is a time to honor our cultures, our communities and each other. Our vision as an agency is to live out the values of Pasifika that center our community power, while affirming our ways of life.  FESTPAC is in direct alignment of PICA’s goal of furthering the wellness of our communities in physical, cultural, socially and spiritual approaches. It is in this framework that our presence will be made in addition to celebrating our history and receiving culturally relevant/culturally specific trainings, workshops, and much more.

 

If you are in need of emergency support during this time, please call 211. Otherwise, you may fill out our referral form here and our team will follow up with you as soon as possible upon our return. You may also leave us a message or voicemail at contact@picawa.org / (206) 686-5221.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!
