The mission of Northwest Harvest is leading the fight for hungry people statewide to have access to nutritious food while respecting their dignity and promoting good health. Their vision is ending hunger in Washington. 

Northwest Harvest is the only nonprofit food bank distributor operating statewide in Washington with a network of 375 food banks, meal programs and high-need schools. Through this network, they provide nearly 2 million meals every month. 

They are committed to nutrition. Northwest Harvest has decades of experience in promoting healthy eating while reducing hunger. They uphold high standards and ensure their supply of nutritious, in-demand products by purchasing a significant share of their food directly. Two-thirds of the food they provide consists of highly nutritious fruits and vegetables.

With distribution centers in western, eastern, coastal and central Washington, Northwest Harvest reaches rural communities where people in need would otherwise go hungry. They require that their partner food banks provide Northwest Harvest food freely to anyone in need, respecting their clients’ dignity while serving their need. For over 50 years they’ve been committed to lifting up the voices of those in need across the state, and they are doing more today than ever before.
