Where to Find Help

Due to the lapse in SNAP benefits, the City of Federal Way has compiled a list of local food banks and community meals serving the Federal Way community.

Assistance for Federal Way Residents

The City does not offer direct services, but provides funding to the human services agencies on the resource list to assist Federal Way residents. Community Services works closely with our community partners, including other public and non-profit organizations, to provide services and support for Federal Way's most vulnerable residents.
