Farmers & Food Producers

Share Your Produce to Help People Facing Hunger

Feeding the Northwest is a produce cooperative that gets Northwest-grown produce from local farms to people facing hunger. Thanks to our food industry partners, we source and distribute millions of pounds of fresh, nutritious fruits and vegetables to the food bank system every year. Feeding the Northwest is a partnership with food banks in Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

How It Works

We work with farmers and food processors like you who want to share your surplus produce. This saves you the hassle of storing, disposing or trying to find a home for wholesome fresh produce.

Why Donate Produce?

You can help feed thousands of people experiencing hunger. Donating produce also has many practical benefits:

Federal tax incentives
Reduced storage and disposal costs
Product pickup
Protection through the federal Good Samaritan Act
Feeding the Northwest applies the highest food safety standards
