Our Story
We began as a 12 step Christian drug and alcohol program that Cheryl Johnson (Left) opened up in 2003. When her son, Dion Johnson (Right), started assisting Cheryl in the meetings, he noticed that some of the clients would attend hungry. He shared an idea to his mother to start feeding the people. Inspired by her son's idea, Cheryl purchased $5,000 worth of Safeway gift cards to hand out to clients in need, and that is when the birth of a movement was underway.
Cheryl suggested they find sponsors to donate food and allow Cheryl and Dion to distribute them. Both Dion and Cheryl go to The City Church in Kirkland, Washington, which operates a food distribution warehouse. The City Church distributes food to other churches and non -profit feeding programs. Dion contacted the head pastor of the food distribution program to seek support from the program. The following Saturday Dion and Cheryl packed their 3/4 ton Chevy pickup truck full of food and handed out the food in a small storefront building in Skyway, Washington. At First, Dion states "I had to go out and yell at the people screaming hey free food. It was very depressing because no one was coming to the Food Bank and for the first year every Saturday only 10 people would attend."
Two years later Miracles Food Bank & Outreach operates in a 12,500 square foot building and serves 900 households, 3000 individuals in the greater Seattle area. Our mission it to show the true love of God and help anyone in need no matter the cost.
