Sustainable Renton is fundraising
Forklift Fundraiser
Want to join Sustainable Renton in making a difference? Sustainable Renton operates a Free Grocery Store every week in the parking lot of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church. For over a year and half and over a million pounds of foods we have been handing out free groceries and other products to Renton residents.

The forklift is used to move pallets of food each week. We use it to move food from trucks to storage containers then storage containers to their respective distribution points.

We currently have a 6 month rent-to-own agreement through Northwest Forklift, which leaves a $20,000 balance that will need to be paid by December 31, 2021.

Refrigerator truck for food storage
Please join Sustainable Renton, to purchase a refrigerated truck to support the Free Grocery Store, and Pay What You Can Farm Stand projects in Renton.
We've been collecting donations from local stores, farmers markets,
and fresh vegetables from our community garden. Sustainable Renton has been working to grow and get foods to the people in need, especially our seniors who my struggle with accessibility, and this happens year round.
As the demand has been growing, so too has our need for refrigerated
storage on a scale that home refrigerators and freezers cannot handle.
We have found a retired refrigerated delivery truck for sale.
Although older, it's still in fine condition and will serve our
purposes perfectly.
The owner is willing to sell it to us for his purchase price, to help
our mission.
All monies collected will help with the purchase and licensing of the
vehicle, insurance and some minor repairs.

We would appreciate your support, so that we can get food to the
families that can use a little help through the hard times.

Thank You.
