Empowerment Center Events
Throughout the year, you can find ways to support or be supported at the Empowerment Center through our fundraising and giving events.
Our annual holiday meals drive and distribution is especially dear to us. Please consider donating or volunteering to support our ability to provide complete holiday meals for families experiencing food insecurity.
Food bank
Two Saturdays per month, we offer a free drive-through food bank at 4340 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98418. Volunteers are needed Fridays and Saturdays to support food sorting and distribution.

Each year we raise funds to buy special items to add to our donated food boxes such as turkeys, hams, cranberry sauce, etc. Our goal is to create large, complete holiday meals for families experiencing food insecurity.
