But we also know people should be able to choose that food with dignity and purpose. Northwest Harvest’s SODO Community Market allows our guests to do just that. It is a no-cost grocery store that provides fresh produce, grocery staples, and a variety of healthy food options to those in need. Guests shop at SODO just as they would at any other grocery store.
SODO Community Market’s doors are open to all community members. No ID, proof of income, or residency information is required to shop with us.
Open each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, SODO offers guests the choice of shopping for a wide variety of food items. Families can access nutritious food and child-friendly items every day that we are open.
In addition to being a stable source for free groceries, SODO Community Market also offers a variety of services from public agencies including healthcare, housing, legal, and more.
SODO Community Market is always looking for dedicated volunteers. If you are interested in building community by providing nutritious food to families in the area, Northwest Harvest would love to speak with you.
