Thomas Reynolds, CEO
A Washington without hunger
Growing food justice through collective action.
Purpose Driven, Anti-Racist, Connected, Interwoven
Meals mark moments: milestones, celebrations, holidays, seasons, reunions. Specific foods connect us to our families, our past, our identities, our heritage.
Food can bring comfort, care, and relief. Food is much more than the calories we consume. In fiscal year 2025, Northwest Harvest explored many different ways to understand the meaning of food: as joy, medicine, love, justice, and power.
These are unprecedented times of need, with fraying social safety nets, devastating federal cuts, and a growing affordability crisis. Northwest Harvest has met the moment with action—giving everything we had to make sure all Washingtonians have enough to eat:
All of this was done in community. Person by person, day by day—collective efforts, joint actions, shared resources, and maximized possibilities. When times are difficult, working together in solidarity fuels hope, and creates tangible results.
This is how Northwest Harvest serves our mission of growing food justice through collective action.
In community,
