This is our growing network of Angels working together to serve Astoria's houseless, hungry, and in need. We provide services without discrimination or judgement. We believe in love, humanity, empathy, connection, second chances, and in the worthiness of every human being.
Filling Empty Bellies began the week before Thanksgiving of 2014. Founder, Corri Buck, delivered just 8 sandwich lunches to 8 hungry people. After a month or so, with lots of help from friends and family, she got the Facebook page, PayPal Donation Account, and GoFundMe account set up. We have grown a lot since then. We have moved indoors, expanded our services, created new programs, and added an abundance of fabulous new staff and volunteers. At our peak we serve up to 50 people a day, sometimes more. Our meals are wholesome, home-cooked, often organic meals. Our true low-barrier overnight shelter opened Tuesday, February 13th at 1040 Commercial St, downtown Astoria. Guests are fed a hot meal and have access to showers. We also provide by appointment only, Street Outreach/Housing Navigation which guests sign up for on-sight during their stay. Check-in begins at 6pm and ends at 8pm. Before check-out in the morning guests are offered a light breakfast, coffee/tea, and sack lunch for the day. Food and Shelter are our priorities. We make available to our unhoused populations, a clothing closet, laundry, haircuts, housing advocacy, newborn baby supplies, school supplies/clothing for children, holiday meals, Christmas gifts for local children and referrals to other resources in the area. (some of these services are currently suspended as we ramp up our Year-Round Shelter) Click below to support us with a One-time or Recurring Monthly Donation. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.
