Partner Programs
Northwest Harvest’s hunger relief network is comprised of 300 independent food banks and meal programs as unique as the communities they serve. We provide food to these programs, without fees of any kind, to supplement their other sources of support.
Regional Distribution Partners
Northwest Harvest has a special relationship with the organizations below. We coordinate transportation of large donations, repack frozen vegetables and bulk food, conduct joint purchases and share surplus product with each other.

Grays Harbor and Pacific County Distribution Center distributes over 1 million pounds of food to approximately 40 programs in Grays Harbor, Pacific, Mason, Wahkiakum, Thurston and Lewis Counties. This regional distributor conducts a program with the Department of Fisheries that results in about 200,000 pounds of salmon fillets for food banks statewide, distributed through Northwest Harvest.
