It's not a grocery store so wait times can be long. But food is expensive and some of us don't have a large budget and it's great. The volunteers are so helpful with assisting customers so it doesn't feel like you have to pay a lot for food to get great service and groceries. Kudos to everyone who donates or volunteers.

The Bellingham Food Bank ("Feeding our community since 1972") has helped me out more times than I…read morecan count. When you're unemployed, broke, and the food stamps have run out, this is the place to turn to. Bring a postmarked piece of mail to show you are a Bellingham resident, and it's best to bring a few empty grocery bags as well, because they tend to run out of boxes. Be prepared to wait in line an hour or more. They are open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 12:30-3:00 and Wednesday 5:00-7:00. Fridays towards the end of the month are always busiest. If you come earlier in the day, the line is longer, but the selection is better, too. Later, on towards 3 o'clock, the line is shorter, but the selection of food is less. Lots of grocery stores in Bellingham (Haggen, Trader Joe's, Price Chopper) donate their just-expired or just-about-to-expire bread, pastries and such to the Food Bank. A thousand praises on the volunteers and staff who keep this place running!

Nothing says summer time in Bellingham quite like a Bells game at Joe Martin Field…read more Tuesdays are for the fans, with half off ticket price $3 beer and a few bucks off food deals. I especially love giveaway nights where they give the first 800-900 fans a business sponsored gift.. baseball, hat, cup, or another fun gift. There is bleacher seating, or bring a blanket or chairs to sit in the grass. One of my personal favorites is the All Stars game with all the mascots, and my favorite of all time.. our very own Dinger! Sometimes they have fireworks after the show, and that's always fun! Bring the family, friends, and enjoy a true Bellingham event .
