Our Work|Regional Distribution
Northwest Harvest distributes an average of two million meals each month to a broad partner network of 375 food banks, meal programs, and high-need schools throughout Washington—representing communities in every county in the state.
In order to accomplish this remarkable feat, Northwest Harvest built three distribution centers across the state. These centers efficiently serve our partnerships with food programs across Washington, which allow our communities to better provide food where it’s most needed.
Western Washington: Auburn
Central Washington: Yakima
Eastern Washington: Spokane
