Our annual food drive is underway. Please donate food to support Northwest Harvest in its goal to end hunger in our state.
We have started collecting food for our annual food drive for Northwest Harvest. Every year we are pleased to rediscover the generosity of our service clients. We thank you for helping efforts to end hunger in Washington state. Our food drive has been ongoing for more than 20 years, thanks to you!
At In Harmony, we believe that our health and wellbeing are directly connected to the earth. Part of wellness is having good, healthy food to eat.
If you are a service client, you will receive an email this fall to remind you to leave out non-perishable food for Northwest Harvest. Our technicians will pick it up on a service visit, and we will deliver everything to the Northwest Harvest warehouse for distribution.
If you are not a service client, or prefer not to give food, consider donating directly to Northwest Harvest. You could also volunteer, or advocate for food justice and public policies that help end hunger.
About Northwest Harvest
“Providing access to healthy food is just part of the solution,” says the Northwest Harvest website. “We’re also acting to remove systemic inequities that create barriers within our food and economic systems.”
Northwest’s Harvest’s community programs include:
- Community markets in Seattle and Yakima are no-cost grocery stores that allow individual agency and choice.
- The Food Access Network provides millions of pounds of food each year to a network of over 350 food programs, including hot-meal sites, food banks, mobile food pantries and free restaurants and pop-up food banks for migrant farmworkers.
The organization is also actively involved in public policy, advocating for state and federal policies to increase access to food, housing, health care and economic stability.
