If you live in the Seattle area, an organizer I ran into has put together a list of food assistance resources, from state assistance to local shops that are giving away free meals. List under the cut. I cannot personally vouch for any of these, but I haven't had reason to believe they aren't legit.

EDIT: there's a website for them now https://seattle-area-aid.nekoweb.org/ but I'll still keep this list in case it dies.

Seattle and vicinity food resources - donate if you can, use as you need:
