WSDA Food Assistance
Food pantries, hunger relief agencies, and others dedicated to fighting hunger will gather in Yakima September 12th – 14th for the Washington Food Coalition (WFC) conference. The annual conference provides a unique opportunity for those interested in hunger relief in Washington to share best practices, tools, and resources; hear about new and innovative programs and services; and network with others who share in a commitment to alleviate hunger.
The conference will feature speakers, breakout sessions, and tours, including:
- Keynote speakers discussing the growth of food insecurity on college campuses
- A panel discussion with current Farm to Food Pantry participants
- Touring Rainier Fruit, a family owned and operated farm that grows and sells organic apples, pears, cherries, and blueberries
In addition to facilitating the Farm to Food Pantry panel discussion, the WSDA will staff a booth. Attendees can visit the WSDA Food Assistance programs resource booth to show their support of the Farm to Food Pantry initiative by donning a F2FP temporary tattoo, posing for a picture, and posting it on social media with the hashtag #Farm2FoodPantry.
