Northwest Harvest is a direct service agency whose mission is to fight hunger, but we are well aware that fighting hunger requires more than feeding the hungry. To that end, Northwest Harvest is an active, long-standing member of the Washington Food Coalition, the Children's Alliance and the Western Regional Anti-Hunger Coalition, among other advocacy groups. Our leadership has signed onto letters to state and national legislators and provided input to legislative staff on hunger issues. In 2007, we conducted focus groups with 54 food bank clients in five different communities across Washington and shared the results with our coalitions, legislators and others who can help fight hunger through policy work.
We work to raise consciousness about the extent of hunger in Washington through our quarterly newsletter, our broad volunteer work, our Speakers Bureau and our frequent food drives and other events.
We invite you to learn more about hunger in Washington and welcome inquiries. Please contact us for more information.
