Our Mission
Fighting hunger, feeding hope: Second Harvest brings community resources together to feed people in need through empowerment, education and partnerships.

Why Does it Matter?
Second Harvest Inland Northwest has been leading the hunger-relief network in the region since 1971. Second Harvest distributes more than 1 million pounds of donated food each month to help people in need in 26 counties in Eastern Washington and North Idaho. Partnerships with more than 300 neighborhood food banks and meal centers make it possible to feed 48,000 people each week.

  • Four out of 10 food bank clients are children.
  • One out of 10 food bank clients are seniors.
