About Salt of the Earth
Volunteering Changes Lives
We need more volunteers to help with the collection of donated food, organization and distribution, office work, and people who want to care for others in the community through prayer.
Our history
Salt of the Earth started in 1992 as an outreach to teens on the streets of Everett. Sandra Richards partnered with a dynamic 83 year old woman named Mildred Yager who had a heart for these kids. Sandra began providing sack lunches for the teens. It started with 5 youth and word got around and it was soon 35. By this time, she was also making a hot meal. It was getting expensive for their limited income so she asked local grocery stores if they could help in any way. The stores were generous and before she knew what was happening, she was feeding teens and adults. For 3 years Sandra was picking up food 365 days a year making sack lunches, hot meals and food baskets.
Then God sent others to volunteer their time and effort to enable them to reach more people in the community. More food banks were opened and a van was donated.
We have 5 thriving food blessing locations in the area along with mercy housing and senior housing food drops. Our organization is run by the love and compassion of our volunteers working together as the body of Christ. We rally together with the same heart and vision, serving our community.
Our mission
Through the call to the obedience that comes by faith, and the transforming power of Jesus Christ, we hope to aid and serve people through our food blessing by filling needs and feeding souls.
