Three days a week
Weekly Downtown Food Service
Pick up ready-to-eat meals in downtown Olympia next to the transit center, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 6:00 to 7:00 PM.
When and where
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 6:00–7:00 PM, in downtown Olympia next to the transit center.
Meals are ready to eat and free to anyone who wants one. There's no sign-up sheet, no ID to show, and no questions asked — walk up, take a meal, and go about your evening.
Who it's for
Everyone. We serve neighbors who are low-income, disabled, or unhoused — and working people who are fully employed but still can't cover food after rent, the car payment, insurance, and the bills. If you need food, you qualify. That's the whole list.
