Our Work|Community Programs|Partner Support Requests
Right now, food banks and community organizations across Washington are facing growing demand—while federal cuts to SNAP, food bank funding, and Medicaid are making it harder to meet that need. Our 350+ Food Access Network partners are doing everything they can to fill the gaps, but they can’t do it alone.
This page lists real-time support requests from our partners—items and resources they need right now to continue serving their communities. From diapers and warm clothing to commercial refrigerators and handicap-accessible vehicles, these are the tools that help keep food flowing and dignity intact.
🗓️ This list is updated quarterly to reflect the most current needs. 📬 Don’t see your organization listed? Partners can email communications@northwestharvest.org to submit a request for inclusion.
Together, we can ensure that every Washingtonian has access to the food and care they deserve.
