SPOKANE FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS AND WINTER NEWSLETTER – FEBRUARY 19
SPOKANE FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS
In response to the continued elevated need for food assistance in the Spokane community, Second Harvest will host two mass food distributions at the Spokane County Fairgrounds (404 N. Havana St. #1, Spokane Valley, WA 99212) this month to help fill service gaps and get food directly to people who need it. These distributions are intended to supplement the amazing efforts of our partner food pantries, who continue to work on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis. The distributions will take place on Friday, Feb. 19 and Friday, Feb. 26, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., or while supplies last. For a full schedule of Second Harvest’s mobile distributions, click here.

National Agriculture Month: Celebrating Ag Partners and Friends – March 1
We take immense pleasure throughout the year in celebrating our agriculture partners and friends. But during National Agriculture Month, we take extra measures to recognize their continued support, contributions and commitment to Second Harvest’s mission of serving people facing hunger.
Our ag partners range from small, local farms to large industry farms, livestock operations, and the processing and manufacturing plants that support them.
Why I support Second Harvest: A donor’s story – February 23
Nothing is more important than having food on the table. To state the obvious, food—like shelter—is something without which we cannot survive. Second Harvest thus quite literally provides a lifeline for those whom my wife and I cannot feed directly. And it has done so for the nearly 40 years that we have supported Second Harvest. During this period we have seen not even a hint that their mission is diminishing in importance. On the contrary, the organization seems to be throwing out more and more lifelines to those in our midst who are in danger of sinking.
