Northwest Harvest

Northwest Harvest, Washington's own statewide hunger relief agency, provides a proven, successful, and cost-effective model for getting nutritious food to those who need it. We strive to be the most efficient hunger response program in the state of Washington, with more than 93% of our budget going directly to food distribution. Knowing that good nutrition is key to health, Northwest Harvest is committed to providing the freshest, most nutritious food possible to our clients. Fruits and vegetables account for over 65% of the food we distribute. Last year we secured over 24 million pounds of food for distribution to more than 300 food banks, hot meal programs and elementary schools across Washington. We enable our partners to do more with their own limited resources, providing a combined 600, 000 food services in their communities each month. Our food provides a bridge from temporary crisis to stability, allowing those on limited incomes to use their cash for medical expenses, housing, transportation costs, utilities, and childcare.
