    “Give Back” Referral Rewards August 2025

    Northwest Harvest distributes food to more than 350 food banks, meal programs, and schools across Washington.

    Northwest Harvest will also be our charity for August.  Hunger often happens when people are forced to make choices between eating and other essential needs like rent or medicine.  We choose to support Northwest Harvest during the summer months because childhood hunger is a significant issue that affects millions of children, particularly during the summer when school meal services are unavailable. It is estimated that 22 million children experience food insecurity during the summer each year.
