Student-run. Community-rooted. Built for the long term.
Project Refill gets nutritious, familiar food straight to families across the Greater Seattle Area. Students run the food distribution, and we back up the farms and pantries our community already leans on.
A Greater Seattle where no family has to pick between food and paying the bills, and where asking for healthy food is never something to feel ashamed about.

Why we exist
1 in 9 King County residents faces food insecurity.
The Eastside has fewer pantry locations and fewer culturally responsive food options. Project Refill activates student leaders to close this gap by supporting farms, markets, and food banks with consistent meals and sustainable infrastructure.
When SNAP funding paused, we watched families in Sammamish and across the Eastside scramble for help despite the area's wealth.
Food insecurity carries stigma here. Project Refill exists to prove that asking for healthy food should never be a source of shame.
By pairing farm partners with student leadership, we're building a reliable pipeline of fresh food and community support that doesn't depend on any one program or season.
