Organization Description
| Mission statement | 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. |
| Service(s) description | During the school year we offer the Three Squares program which is a weekend backpack program for high-need schools. This helps to fill the gap on the weekends when children considered high-need may not have access to food. The Kids Summer Food Club rounds out our services by providing kid-friendly foods throughout summer in high-need geographical areas. |
| Program impact | We serve a diverse mix of partner programs, including food banks, meal programs and high need schools. We distributed nearly 28 million pounds of food through this network last year—equivalent to 22 million meals. |
