SeasonLESS food drive a success

Tacoma Atheists donated 135 pounds of food to Northwest Harvest at the last Meetup. Our goal was 50 lbs. Thank you all for your overwhelming generosity and goodwill. Several people showed up with giant boxes of food, and it filled the back of my car. Thank you.

As a locally operated agency, Northwest Harvest is uniquely suited to serve the diverse needs from county to county across Washington State.

Northwest Harvest respects the dignity of those we serve. We supply food for free to our partner food banks and meal programs throughout the state.

Together our partners provide half a million food services each month in their communities.

More than 50% of those we serve are children and the elderly—the populations most affected by a compromised diet. We know that nutrition matters, and we’re committed to providing the freshest, most beneficial food possible to our clients.

We rely on your donations. All of our food and funds come from individuals, businesses, foundations and other organizations, and 93 percent of our total budget goes to food distribution.

… our main responsibility is as a food distribution network for all of Washington. Our nearly 300 partner food banks and meal programs are independently-run and community-based. We use our contacts, buying power and over 40 years experience with issues of hunger to provide more food and better nutritional variety to partner programs, allowing them to focus more of their limited resources toward serving clients.

If you would like to drop off food, there are many drop sites throughout the Puget Sound.
