BRIEF HISTORY NORTHWEST HARVEST

Northwest Harvest is Washington’s leading hunger relief agency – supporting a statewide network of 375 food banks, meal programs, and high-need schools. Focused on improving equity in our food system, Northwest Harvest believes everyone in Washington should have consistent access to nutritious food that nourishes the body, mind, and spirit. In addition to providing increased access to healthy food, Northwest Harvest aims to shift public opinion, as well as impact institutional policies and societal practices that perpetuate hunger, poverty, and disparities in our state.

UPCOMING EVENTS

KING 5 HOME TEAM HARVEST BROADCAST SPECIAL

Saturday, December 5, 2020 Tune in to KING 5 at 10 a.m., for a broadcast special celebrating 20 years of Home Team Harvest. Learn more about the campaign, its history, how it changes lives in our communities and how YOU can help us reach our goal to provide 20 million meals to ensure everyone gets enough to eat.

CORE VALUES

WE BELIEVE:

• access to food is a basic human right and central to achieving social justice. • hunger transcends political ideology. • those who experience hunger must be part of the solution to solving hunger. • systemic inequalities such as racism and poverty are the root causes of hunger and not the fault of any individual. • communities thrive when all of us have our basic needs met. • to end hunger in our communities we must come together across our differences, embrace diversity, and engage in collective action.

With additional safety measures in place, volunteers and staff of Northwest Harvest’s SODO Community Market continue distributing nutritious food to serve customers.

CORPORATE GIVING OPPORTUNITIES

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Volunteers are the heart of Northwest Harvest and volunteer efforts driven by our corporate partners are critical to reaching our ambitious goals. Due to current Covid-19 health and safety guidelines, volunteer opportunities continue to be limited. We are grateful for your commitment to the mission of Northwest Harvest and look forward to safely welcoming you and your employees back to our facilities as volunteers as soon as possible.

DONATIONS

Cash contributions support general operations, food purchases, infant and children’s programs, and equipment. Many companies sponsor matching gift programs for employees, allowing donations to have double—or triple—the impact. We also accept gifts of stock, donor advised funds and other assets, IRA distributions, and planned gifts. You can donate online and discover other ways to connect with Northwest Harvest at northwestharvest.org.

PARTNERSHIPS

Northwest Harvest welcomes corporate partnerships to help us fight hunger in Washington. Each year, hundreds of companies across the state support our work by sponsoring events, making contributions, hosting food drives, collecting cash donations, or donating a percentage of their sales. We will work with you to create a partnership that meets your business needs while supporting our mission of providing nutritious food to those in need.

Please call us at 206-923-7431 to learn more about how you can partner with us.

OUTCOMES

We all have a role to play in caring for our neighbors across Washington. In addition to making sure that those who suffer from hunger have increased access to healthy food, we shift public opinion and impact policies and practices that perpetuate hunger. We invite corporate and civic leaders to join us in making a difference.
