Shop Local. Feed Local.

This holiday season, your everyday purchases can do something extraordinary. They can assist in feeding local families.

Lumber Traders, parent company of Angeles Millwork & Lumber Co., Hartnagel Building Supply, and Angeles Rentals, is proud to stand beside the Port Angeles Food Bank to support our neighbors when it matters most. We have made an immediate $5,000 donation to help fill shelves right now, and we are inviting our community to help us do even more.

When you shop on Saturdays between November 22 and December 20 at any of our three stores, 5% of your purchase will go directly to the Port Angeles Food Bank.

Every board, brush, and bolt you buy helps feed a neighbor. Whether you are shopping for gifts, supplies, or your next project, your purchase will help keep families nourished and hopeful through the winter months.

If you prefer to give directly, cash donation boxes will be available in each store, or you can make a secure online contribution through the Food Bank’s donation page.

Together, we can make every Saturday this season count.

Why We Are Giving Back

Across the Olympic Peninsula, the need for food assistance continues to grow. Many expected demand to ease after the pandemic, but rising food prices, housing costs, and transportation challenges have made it even harder for families to afford nutritious meals.

In October 2025, the Port Angeles Food Bank became the emergency food distribution center for both Clallam and Jefferson counties, taking over operations from Olympic Community Action Programs (OlyCAP). The change created a more efficient, centralized system to manage federal and state emergency food programs and ensure no one lost access to essential services.

The Food Bank has stepped up to meet these expanded responsibilities, but growing demand continues to stretch local resources. That is why we are helping where we can and inviting others to join us.

Lumber Traders is contributing $5,000 to provide immediate support and donating 5% of Saturday sales through the holiday season to help keep shelves stocked for families who need it most.

How the Food Bank Helps

The Port Angeles Food Bank provides thousands of meals every month to families, children, and seniors right here in our community. Their mission goes far beyond handing out groceries. They are building stability, fueling health, and helping families move from surviving to thriving.

Food security creates the foundation for everything else such as work, learning, and the simple comfort of knowing the next meal is covered.

When we support the Food Bank, we are not just giving food. We are giving peace of mind, dignity, and hope.

Other Ways You Can Help

There are many ways to support the Port Angeles Food Bank beyond shopping or donating at our stores.

• Donate non-perishable or household items.
  Donations can be dropped off in the bin outside the Food Bank gate. Fresh produce, frozen meat, and other perishable items can be brought directly to an attendant Monday or Tuesday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

  Items always needed include:

  • Canned goods such as soups, chicken, tuna, or salmon

  • Shelf-stable foods like rice, oats, whole grain crackers, and granola bars

  • Nut butters, applesauce, and low-sugar fruit cups

  • Cooking oils and coffee

  • Fresh produce (especially helpful during the winter months)

  • Pet food and cat litter

  • Hygiene items including diapers (sizes 4–6), wipes, shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, razors, and feminine hygiene products

  Please avoid donating opened packages, homemade foods, or items more than a year past the “best by” date.

• Make a financial donation.
  Every dollar helps. Even small contributions can provide multiple meals. Donate through the Food Bank’s donation page to give directly.

• Share their mission.
  Talk about the Food Bank’s work with friends, family, and coworkers. Awareness leads to action, and your voice helps amplify their impact.

And if you or someone you know needs food assistance, the Food Bank has compiled a list of free food resources throughout Clallam County that you can access here.
