16th Annual Feeding the Heart Food Drive
February 1 – March 2
For the past 16 years, Feeding the Heart Food Drive has brought our community together to support neighbors facing food insecurity. Organized by the team at Crafted Real Estate, this annual effort has collected thousands of pounds of food and vital monetary donations, all benefiting the Bremerton Foodline.
What began as a small community initiative has grown into a meaningful tradition—powered by generosity, compassion, and a shared belief that no one in our community should go hungry.
Why the Bremerton Foodline Matters
The Bremerton Foodline serves all of Kitsap County and North Mason County, providing emergency food assistance to individuals, seniors, and families in need. In the past year alone, they processed over one million pounds of food, distributing it to neighbors and supporting other food banks throughout the region.
Beyond distribution, the Bremerton Foodline operates a client-choice warehouse, allowing individuals and families to shop for both perishable and non-perishable foods with dignity and care.
Each month, the Bremerton Foodline serves:
-
2,500 individuals
-
900+ households
-
49% adults | 21% seniors | 30% children
Their work is made possible by more than 600 volunteers, who contribute over 12,000 hours each year—a true example of neighbors helping neighbors.
During times of increased need, including school closures, the Bremerton Foodline also provides kids’ food bags, ensuring children have access to meals outside of school.
