We partner with regional food banks, local pantries and meal programs to make sure organizations responding to hunger in their communities have the tools and resources to meet the need. Feeding Washington is an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit leading collective efforts to end hunger in Washington state. We are a statewide membership association of Washington food banks and the network they support.
Our two current member organizations, Food Lifeline (serving Western Washington) and Second Harvest (serving Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho), are part of the Feeding America network and provide food to 632 food banks, pantries and meal programs that feed approximately one million people in Washington every year. Hunger affects communities throughout our state—Feeding Washington shares the scope of hunger and tells the stories of people who face it. We foster collaboration statewide by convening partners to build and execute plans that can strategically end hunger. We identify solutions to hunger at a statewide level by working with elected officials, funders, food industry partners and other hunger relief organizations. At the same time, by supporting and working alongside the state’s network of food banks, pantries and meal programs, we help make change at a community level. Being a part of the Feeding America network allows us to leverage relationships and share best practices from across the biggest hunger relief system in the country. Feeding Washington is uniquely positioned to convene hunger relief organizations at all levels in Washington state and foster collaboration.
