The Puyallup Hope Market provides food security through its partnerships with: Emergency Food Network, Food Lifeline, Grocery Outlet South Hill, Puyallup Food Bank, Safeway 136th/Meridian, Walmart 31st, and Walmart Spanaway.
Because of food costs and reduced governmental funding, Puyallup Hope Market needs community support to ensure people in need still receive food. People struggling to make ends meet often have to choose between food and rent or food and life-sustaining medications.
