SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash., Jan. 7, 2026 – Janicki Industries is donating $30,000 to Helping Hands Food Bank and Solutions Center to support recovery efforts in the aftermath of record flooding in Washington. Janicki employs more than 1,700 employees and operates over 1 million square feet of manufacturing facilities in Skagit County.

“Our communities require immediate support to repair damaged homes, secure stable housing, and access food and financial assistance,” said John Janicki, president of Janicki. “We are committed to supporting Helping Hands Food Bank and Solutions Center, which has established on-the-ground resources in Skagit County to deliver timely assistance to those impacted by the flooding. We urge those who are able to contribute to support this important effort.”
