Current Mask Policy:
Lynnwood Food Bank continues to require masks worn while on the property. As you might be fully vaccinated, the policy at the Food Bank continues the value of protecting those that are not yet protected. Volunteers are also coming into contact with approximately a thousand people per week, and wearing our masks is also our commitment to protect you from all the people we come into contact with.
Thank you for your patience and we will let you know when our policy changes. Thank you!
