Toward an Equitable Food System
Hunger often happens when people are forced to make choices between eating and other essential needs like rent or medicine. Our advocacy work eliminates those difficult choices by ensuring that public resources serve people who struggle with food insecurity.
PUBLIC POLICY
Ending Hunger Together
Northwest Harvest freely provides food and resources to a broad network of food programs across Washington.
FOOD ACCESS NETWORK
We distribute an average of two million meals each month to a broad partner network across the state in areas of greatest need.
Regional Distribution
Serving communities throughout western Washington.
Serving 65 hunger relief programs and 17 schools.
Our eastern Washington food distribution hub.
To truly end hunger, we must look at ending practices that continually widen gaps in community access while also building a more just food system.
