Partnering with Northwest Harvest
Northwest Harvest is a food justice organization in Washington state that builds partnerships in communities across Washington to get food where it’s needed most. They provide an average of two million meals a month through our statewide network of over 400 food banks, meal programs, school, and community-based organizations. Northwest Harvest provides nutritious, culturally relevant food to anyone in need, while respecting people’s dignity.
Northwest Harvest is committed to operating as an anti-racist, anti-oppressive organization and are unflinching in their work to transform an unjust food system into one that is more responsive and accountable to the communities most impacted by discrimination.
Partnering with West Seattle Mutual Aid Party
West Seattle Mutual Aid Party is a self-organized network dedicated to developing relationships with vulnerable neighbors, currently focused in and around the Delridge corridor in West Seattle. They approach their work with the mindset and intention of engaging in mutual aid rather than charity, meaning that they recognize they are neither “saving” nor “serving” anybody but instead are simply acting in solidarity with others. West Seattle Mutual Aid Party is connected with other mutual aid groups and projects to develop an infrastructure that thus far includes a weekly propane swap for the encampment along with food, medical, hygiene, and harm reduction supplies. They are working to build trust with more community members thus allowing them to expand their reach and impact.
Partnering with White Center Food Bank
The White Center Food Bank (WCFB) is a woman-of-color led organization that distributed 1,446,726 pounds of food to 107,178 individuals and 37,522 households in 2023.
Customers of WCFB represent a diverse community of individuals and families who come from under-served communities: BIPOC communities, seniors, people with disabilities, multilingual communities, and underserved community members who live in unincorporated King County. Over 75% of those they serve are communities of color and many speak languages other than English. They ensure close relationships within our community because WCFB employs several multilingual intake staff who have long-standing trusted relationships with communities and speak nine languages (English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, Khmer/Cambodian, Shanghainese, Chaozhou). Some have worked at the food bank for over a decade. These relationships create a family-like atmosphere, where WCFB is not simply helping people access food but providing a safe, friendly environment where people feel at home.
Join the movement to build a future without waste.
