Footnotes

  1. Northwest Justice Project, Office Locations. ↩

  2. Benton Franklin Legal Aid Society, Legal Aid Application and Home page. The application page gives the Kennewick address as 5219 W. Clearwater Ave. Suite 5. The phone number is confirmed in the Washington State Bar Association directory, Directory of Qualified Legal Services Providers in Washington, updated July 22, 2026. The hours come from the Washington Department of Health community resource listing, Legal Assistance offered at Benton Franklin Legal Aid, since the Legal Aid site lists none. ↩

  3. Tri-Cities Food Bank, Richland. The page header states the pantry is open Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. The location block on the same page gives Monday as 9:00 to 11:00 AM. ↩

  4. Richland Lutheran Church, Outreach Ministry. The church’s own newsletters confirm the food pantry distributions on Tuesdays at 1:00 PM and Saturdays at 9:00 AM, and give the address as 901 Van Giesen St., Richland, WA 99354 and the phone as 509-943-3164. The outreach page could not be opened directly because the site returned a rate-limit error. The newsletter details here come from search-indexed copies of the church’s own site. The closing times, Tuesday 4:00 PM and Saturday 12:00 PM, come from the foodpantries.org listing, Richland Lutheran Church Food Pantry, since the church site does not state them. ↩
