No Child Goes Hungry

This is our goal. Wild Bird Charity aims to feed every hungry child in Whatcom County. You can help us by making a donation.

What We Do

  • We currently provide 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 2 dinners, and several snacks to children in Whatcom County every weekend.

  • We partner with 49 area schools that identify families in need and distribute the bags of food to the kids each Friday. The need continues to grow, and we are determined to meet this challenge.

  • We receive no government monies; our food is purchased primarily with donations from local people and businesses who are united in believing that kids shouldn’t go hungry.

Weekend Food Bag Program

Every week, between 60 and 80 volunteers pack over 1300 food bags to feed children from 49 schools.
