Second Harvest Inland Northwest
Mission
Fighting hunger, feeding hope: Second Harvest brings community resources together to feed people in need through empowerment, education and partnerships. Founded in 1971 as a central warehouse for a handful of emergency food pantries in Spokane, Second Harvest is now the hub for rescuing donated food to serve people facing hunger in the Inland Northwest. Today, Second Harvest provides food for 86,000 meals a day with 250 partner food banks, meal sites and other hunger-relief programs in a service area that spans 21 counties in Eastern Washington and five counties in North Idaho - just over 51,000 square miles. Second Harvest's food helps fill nutritional gaps for people in poverty, the working poor, elderly and disabled people on very low fixed incomes, and children and families in crisis.
Vision
Fueling a future where everyone has the food they need to thrive.
Goals
- 1.We seek to maximize donated food resource development to serve people facing hunger by building local food industry partnerships and using fundraising best practices to help earn continued support from food donors. We must diversify donated food sources to increase sustainability, while focusing on efficiencies in the supply chain and in internal and external transportation logistics.
- 2.We strive to make it easy for financial donors to invest in a hunger-relief cause they care about. We believe donors are part of our mission and our job is to help them do good in their community. Second Harvest is more than 80% privately funded, and we must build donor retention on a foundation of meaningful individual engagement rather than event-based fundraising.
- 3.We will increase food access for people in need by providing a variety of nutritious food resources to partner food pantries and filling gaps with our own direct services. We will target our Mobile Market free food distributions to high-need, rural areas that lack adequate local hunger-relief services. We also will continue to expand our Bite2Go weekend food program for schoolchildren in need.
