Northwest Harvest is a food justice organization working in Washington state to end hunger and to address the root causes of poverty. Hunger is not just the absence of food; it is the absence of justice. We support a statewide network of 375 food banks, meal programs, and high-need schools. We are focused on improving equity in our food system so everyone in Washington can access nutritious foods. In addition to working to provide equitable access to healthy food, Northwest Harvest’s advocacy seeks to shift public opinion and impact inequitable policies and practices that perpetuate poverty and hunger in our state.
