Nationally, nearly 13 million children face food insecurity. Due to systemic racism, children from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) households go hungry at a disproportionate rate. Northwest Harvest and our Food Access Network partner organizations statewide are committed to bridging this gap by offering easy access to nutritious and fresh foods for all Washington families.
We are asking donors to host food drives to bring in items most needed by the community partners Northwest Harvest serves. Together, we can provide nourishing meals and ease the burden on families across the state.
Fill out a food drive registration form to get started! If requested, a Northwest Harvest team member will then contact you to confirm details and provide support.
REGISTER YOUR FOOD DRIVE
Northwest Harvest welcomes donations of non-perishable food items (for donations of fresh items, please contact our Procurement Team). Please select shelf-stable foods that are low in sodium, sugar, and saturated fats.
*Individual serving
While still needed by shoppers, these items are not as much of a hit with kids: canned meats, canned pasta (Chef Boyardee, for example), veggie cups (green beans, carrots, and peas), canned veggies. If hosting a general food drive, please refer to this page with suggested list of donations.
