It takes all of us to make
sure hunger stops here
A message from Chief Executive Officer Shelley Rotondo
Years after the end of the recession, food
bank lines around the state are still at
record levels. Organizations like Northwest
Harvest are working harder than ever
to meet this need, while focusing on
new priorities, like nutrition and health,
which work hand-in-hand with existing
food distribution efforts to directly
impact communities across the state.
It takes a little less than four hours
from Seattle, past breathtaking
Cascade Mountain scenery, to reach
Leavenworth “Icicle” Station on Amtrak.
Leavenworth, a charming Bavarian
village along the Wenatchee River, is
the ultimate tourist destination. But
its people face a challenge no less
daunting than the peaks looming over
main street: a tourist economy that
leaves too many permanent residents
struggling, often dependent on local
food banks like Community Cupboard.
“The cost of living is almost as expensive
to live here as parts of the outer Seattle
area,” notes one resident who raised
four children alone while living and
working in town. “Food costs are just
as expensive here.” Many struggle
with the low wages they have come
to expect in the tourist economy.
Why stay? “Some people… can’t
afford to move. This is where the
work is [in our area].” Notes another
resident, simply, “This is my home.”
Others struggle
to keep their
families afloat.
One resident
is a full-time
caretaker for
his 89-yearold mother. “I can’t work—it’s a 24hour job.” He relies on his mother’s
Social Security check to provide for
the family. “Without the food bank…
it would be rough living. [And] we’ve
got the grandkids three days a week.”
Significant support for Leavenworth’s food
banks comes from Northwest Harvest
warehouses in Kent, Yakima and Spokane.
They dispatch trucks laden with food drive
donations, nutritious fruits and vegetables
and staples like rice and oats to bring
the bounty of our state to more than
380 similar food banks, meal programs
and high-need schools statewide.
With too many in our state still struggling,
communities around Washington
are rallying around a new movement
and a new cry: hunger stops here.
“A number of first time ever folks coming to the food bank. Seeing seniors and
families with kids coming most often.”
—Vashon-Maury Community Food Bank, King County

“More people express a sense that they are ‘stuck’ – ‘never thought I would be coming this long’– ‘I’m
working, but nothing ever lasts.’ … I love it when people ask about our “policies” about who we serve... I say,
you know we are connected with NWH, and I have always loved their approach: If you are at the food bank,
you must need food.”

“One lady in tears shared that she would not be here except she literally had no food to feed her family.
We shared with her that that is exactly why we are here – to help families that are in her situation.
After talking with her for a few minutes and explaining how else we can help her – we hugged and she
left with a smile on her face. ”

From Farm to Food Bank
Friends say I know every farmer
from Yakima to Spokane,
Wenatchee to Goldendale.
I guess I do get around.
What strikes me most about
Washington? Our sheer
abundance.
15 million acres of wheat
and beans, apples, pears and
cherries, potatoes and onions. World-class grapes
and every fresh vegetable imaginable. All grown right
here. Sun, soil and water. We have it all.
At Northwest Harvest I help hundreds of Washington
farmers channel their seconds, their over-production,
through us and on to 380 community food banks throughout Washington—tens of thousands of pounds of fresh produce a week.
Farm to food bank.
Yes, I get around. I talk to lots of people. And what I know is that politics aside, we mostly all agree that no one who lives among
such abundance should go hungry. Ever.
I am Robert Adams, and I am proud to be the Agriculture Relations Specialist at Northwest Harvest.

All in a Day’s Drive.
Kent, Washington 5:00 a.m. Forklift pallets of rice,
beans, oats, pasta & canned goods into the trailer. 18
tons fits nicely and leaves room for a big procurement
of fresh fruit.
Pack it all in and hit the road over Snoqualmie Pass to
our Yakima warehouse. Unload half. That supplies 65
Central Washington food banks for a couple weeks.
In Yakima take on an additional five tons of apples,
potatoes and onions. Beeline I-90 to Spokane. Destination: Northwest
Harvest’s Spokane warehouse.
From there it goes out to food banks throughout Spokane County and
Northeastern Washington.
End of the day is dinner at Sam’s Diner and a good night’s sleep in the
truck. 350 miles. 23 tons of Washington abundance delivered, free of
charge.
I am Howard Breckon and I am proud to be the CDL Truck Driver for

volunteers in produce recovery and
gardening projects, and we spoke
with Beth Macinko, Community
Harvest Gleaning Coordinator, to
learn more about their programs.
How does Community Harvest build and
maintain relationships with farmers?
We try to touch base with all our
previous donors every year sometime
in the winter and see if they want to
continue being part of the project.
The primary way we stay in touch
throughout the season is checking
in at farmers markets, since they are
Does the organization work with
farmers to receive feedback? Are there
any plans to develop new programs?
We try to check in with farmers in the
winter months to see how the project
worked last year and how we can
improve for the upcoming season. We
also have done donor surveys after
gleans in the past. We’re working
now on how the program can grow,
by training volunteer glean leaders
to increase our harvest capacity, and
we’re partnering with a church to offer
cooking classes so people have the
knowledge to prepare some of the
fresh whole foods they are able to get
at the food bank, and a purchasing
program would be great eventually.

Feed Spokane:
the Birth of a
Food Coalition
In most large cities, during any given
month, the amount of good food thrown
away (for whatever reason) is sufficient
to adequately feed most, if not all, of
those who do not have enough to eat. It
is a story of waste and lost opportunity.
How do we change this story?
Roughly nine years ago, a handful of
people from several Spokane community
agencies met to discuss a simple
question: “How can we find more food to
feed those in need in our city?” Gregory
Edwards, an AmeriCorps/Vista volunteer
with the Spokane Neighborhood Action
Project, led the meeting. He had been
assigned the task of finding new food
sources for their Thursday night “sack
dinner” outreach in downtown Spokane.
All agencies and ministries present
shared a common challenge: securing
new supplies of food for those in need.
Someone floated an ‘out of the box’
idea…why not form a “coalition” to
approach local area restaurants and
challenge them to donate prepared
food which would otherwise be
thrown away? The idea resonated
with everyone present—and the Feed
Spokane Coalition was formed.
The Feed Spokane Board noted that
they wanted very much to emphasize
their focus on food safety. They’ve
not only partnered with the Spokane
Regional Health Department, but have
facilitated a number of important
educational opportunities for their
programs and especially for their
meal site kitchen supervisors.
Spokane. The goal this year is to take
the story and the ideology outside
the food industry and garner greater
support from the community at large.
Longer-term benefits to the Spokane
community include not only ‘rescuing’
food and feeding hungry people, but
also saving thousands of food pounds
from ending up in the waste stream.
Feed Spokane is an alternative story
whose time has come. Along with
partners like Northwest Harvest, Feed
Spokane is quickly becoming a vital piece
in the puzzle of eliminating waste and
hunger by telling an alternative story
of opportunity, community and hope.
Feed Spokane is now working with 30
meal sites, 30 coalition participants, and
25 grocery and restaurant operators
who support eliminating hunger in

Five Decades Stocking
Washington Food Banks
We offer a basic menu. Not fancy,
but filling and nutritious.
Our idea was to supply community
food banks with regular shipments
of staples—rice and beans, pasta
and oats, canned goods and
produce. Regular deliveries that
could be rounded out with local
food drives. All year long. Free
of charge. Our basic menu has proven to be a great
way to feed the hungry throughout our state.
The need grew. So did we. Our relationships with
Washington food producers convinced us to build our
capacity, adding millions of pounds of fruits and vegetables per year. Today, nearly two-thirds of our distribution is produce.
We’ve matured into a hunger relief network, with trucks, warehouses and volunteers that stretch from
Grays Harbor to Spokane, supplying over 380 hunger relief programs in every corner of our state.
I am Mike Regis and I am proud to be Director of Procurement and Outreach at Northwest Harvest.

The Tuesday
Volunteer Crew
We’re a lean, mean machine. Thirty
volunteers who show up every week to
make bulk more manageable for small
food banks.
Food producers store their inventory in
giant 1,400 pound bins—totes, they’re
called. When they donate their
overstock or their seconds, that’s how
you get it. Who can handle a box of
peas the size of a Volkswagen?
Team Tuesday can. We turn 1,400 pound boxes of frozen
peas into 700 two-pound bags in 45 minutes flat. Freezer to
freezer. Same for corn, carrots, rice and other staples. That’s what we ship to food banks all around Washington. Twice a month,
free of charge.
We’re a good crew—30 of the thousands of volunteers who keep it all running. Come to think if it, we’re why Northwest Harvest
can do what no one else can.
I am Lynn McGuire and I am proud to be a Volunteer at Northwest Harvest.

cancer, and to homebound seniors.
In the struggle for wellness, a
nutritious meal can make all the
difference. Chicken Soup Brigade
improves the nutritional health of
individuals living with chronic illnesses.
Comprehensive food and nutrition
programs work towards reducing
symptoms, minimizing side effects,
and providing much needed comfort.
Resources include grocery and meal
programs and nutritional counseling.
Grocery bags, which include glutenfree, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan,
and culturally-appropriate options, are
nutrient-rich to meet specific nutritional
parameters and can be tailored
depending on dietary preferences,
medical conditions, and cultural
practices. Nutritional counseling is
offered by dieticians to assess specific
needs and to implement changes that
work within the client’s lifestyle.
Chicken Soup Brigade began in the early
1980s as a meal program for those
living with HIV. Over the last 10 years,
Chicken Soup Brigade has expanded
its mission to offer resources across
King County to a wider breadth of
people, including those with kidney
disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis,
In July of 2014, Lifelong opened the
doors on a new meal production
and warehouse facility in south
Seattle. The facility houses meal
production, warehousing, and other
operations. Chicken Soup Brigade
will be able to increase production
for their grocery and meal programs,
which both aim to stabilize health
and improve medical outcomes.
Improved medical outcomes help to
prevent institutionalization, decrease
human suffering, and reduce costs.
Chicken Soup Brigade hopes to build on
their current work though engagement
with public policy. Reaching out to
vendors and others in the larger sector
will help create a dialogue to improve
the quality of food in the donation
stream. Chicken Soup Brigade’s focus on
the community lends itself well to the
conversation of providing local, organic
food and forging relationships between
farms and food banks. This inspiring
program continues to improve upon
current programs at their new facility.

Cooking up Creativity:
Millionair Club
Charity’s Kitchen
Rental Program
Lindsey Webb and Brent Herrmann
have a slew of ideas up their sleeves,
and excitement and passion shows
up in their programming work at the
Millionair Club Charity. In addition to
feeding 400 people a day at their meal
program, the Millionair Club also hosts
a fully operational Hydroponic Urban
Farm in their basement! Their latest
endeavor, a new kitchen rental program
that highlights as a culinary incubator
for budding culinary businesses, is
one example of their inventiveness.
Brent Herrmann, Director of Programs
and Lindsey Webb, Food Programs
Manager, are pragmatic in their
approach to innovative ideas.
“The Millionair Club’s meal program
kitchen serves breakfast and lunch, and
closes after 2:30 pm,” Brent explains.
“We wanted a way to utilize that
space to greater capacity and bring
in an alternate source of revenue.”
Since they began the program in
September, the program already has
three tenants, and is looking towards
expansion. Current occupants include
a caterer, farmers market baker, and
a specialty foods producer. Lindsey
hints that a new baker of gourmet dog
treats may soon be whipping up canine
culinary creations in their kitchen.
While not all partners have a commercial
kitchen to spare, the concept embraced
by the Millionair Club is one to emulate.
Additional space
at your facility
can be rented to
neighborhood
organizations or

this kind of support
not only provides
a service to the
community, but
also strengthens
and develops
local commerce,
publicity, and

food to students in 50 highneed schools, where a high
percentage of students
receive free or reduced-price
meals. A Three Squares pack
is filled with nutritious, kid-
friendly food for children who
have limited food at home
in the evenings, weekends
and during school breaks.
This past academic year
(September 2014 - June
2015), Northwest Harvest
operated the Three Squares
program in nine school
districts in Washington,
providing more than 76,000
take-home bags and inschool snacks to at-risk
students selected by school
coordinators for the program.
KIDS SUMMER FOOD CLUB
During a typical school year,
a student potentially has
access to breakfast, lunch,
snacks, after-school meals,
and weekend meals. Most
of these are made possible
through predominantly
Federally-funded programs
and engaged community
members. What happens
during the summer? These
are all school-year based
programs. During the summer
months there are limited
avenues for children to
get food putting increased
pressure on families for
these three months.
There is a Federal summer
meal program that provides
one meal at a specific
site. These programs run
anywhere between June and
August, but rarely the whole
summer. Even more, currently
in Washington State only
11% of children who receive
free and reduced cost meals
during the school year are
accessing free summer meal
programs. There is a huge
gap where there are either
too few summer meal sites
or located too far away. The
families in these areas are
typically considered highneed and are most likely
also utilizing their local food
bank. We want to leverage
this point of access for kids.
That is why we launched
the Kids Summer Food
Club in August 2014. This
program serves kid-friendly
food to areas where 1) we
have partner programs,
2) no near summer meal
sites, and 3) where over
50% of the children apply
for free and reduced meals
during the school year. We
see the summer food gap
and the potential to help
feed kids year round. The
Kids Summer Food Club
rounds out our services by
providing kid-friendly foods
throughout summer in highneed geographical areas.
“A client was sharing that the food bank supplemental is her only source of fresh fruits & vegetables. Now
that she is expecting, any dairy is an added blessing.”
