Our Fiscal Year 2025 Annual Report reflects a year of progress powered by people, partnerships, and a shared commitment to ending hunger. We invite you to explore – and celebrate – the momentum your support helped build.
Food carries deep meaning in our lives. Through shared meals and cherished recipes, food connects us to our heritage, our communities, and each other. It is a universal need and reminds us of our shard humanity. We invite you to our collective table to learn about the meaning of food.
Through creative expression, we are expanding the conversation about food justice. #ArtistsForFoodJustice brings twelve Washington artists from Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) communities and marginalized identities to this vital conversation. Their unique interpretations anchor our exploration of food’s power to transform lives and communities.
Together, we will end hunger in Washington
