Speaker's Bureau:
Would you like to talk about us? Are you excited and enthusiastic about the mission of Northwest Harvest and fighting hunger? Do you enjoy telling your family, friends or complete strangers about our work and how they might help? Do you like meeting exciting new people through public speaking or information fairs? If you do, our Speakers Bureau is for you. We often need volunteers to address organizations, businesses and school groups. Join the fun while spreading the word about Northwest Harvest.
