Northwest Harvest, the only statewide hunger relief agency in Washington State, provides a proven, successful, and cost-effective model for getting nutritious food to those who need it. We strive to be the most efficient hunger response program in the state of Washington, with more than 93% of our budget going directly to food distribution. Knowing that good nutrition is key to health, Northwest Harvest is committed to providing the freshest, most nutritious food possible to our clients. Fruits and vegetables account for 40% to 50% of the food we distribute. We supply 18 million pounds of food each year to more than 300 food banks and meal programs in 37 counties across Washington State. Our no-fee policy enables our partners to do more with their own limited resources, providing a combined half million food services in their communities each month. Our food provides a bridge from temporary crisis to stability, allowing those on limited incomes to use their cash for medical expenses, housing, transportation costs, utilities, and childcare. Northwest Harvest receives no city, county, state, or federal funding for operating expenses and relies solely on contributions from individuals, businesses, foundations, and other organizations. Much of our work is made possible by volunteers of all ages, who give more than 40,000 hours of their time each year to feed the hungry.

I am part of a youth organization that works with this charity every year. We raise thousands. Last summer we talked to one of their spokespersons who was speechless when she heard the amount. You could tell that they people who are part of this charity really care about what they do and getting food into food banks.
