This year, we are focusing our efforts on these priorities: providing school meals at no cost for all students in Washington, Hunger Free Campuses to ensure that college and community college students meet their basic needs for food and other essential needs, investing more funding in the Fruit & Vegetable Incentives Program to increase affordability of nutritious food, and increasing support for We Feed Washington and our emergency food system. As part of our support agenda, we also will be tracking and advocating for increased housing protections, increased access to healthcare services for marginalized communities, the Guaranteed Basic Income pilot program, and the expansion of the Working Families Tax Credit.

We appreciate your support and are grateful to have you join us in the movement for food justice!
