FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 1 P.M. PST, July 25, 2014

Washington’s Hunger Relief Network Joins Forces to Help Wildfire Victims 

Leaders from the Washington Food Coalition (WFC) are stepping up to procure and send needed supplies to the victims of the devastating wildfires east of the Cascades. The mobilization began July 23^rd when Julie Washburn, WFC Executive Director, forwarded to the board a plea for supplies and resources from fellow WFC board member May Segle. May Segle is the Administrator Program Director at Entiat Valley Community Services and is serving as a contact point for getting emergency supplies to those in need.

As of July 24^th Segle reported, “We have 300 families displaced or without homes. We are looking at about 1250 children who are in need of school supplies and clothing.” Power and cooling ability is limited or non-existent, so there is special need for shelf stable food that is easy to prepare. Gas cards and generators are desperately needed to address this issue. In addition, Hygiene products for all ages and clothes and school supplies for children ages 4-18 are needed.

Toiletries & Hygiene Kits (Can put in bag): Shampoos, Bar Soaps, Cream Rinses, Shaving Creams, Disposable Razors, Toothbrush/Toothpaste, Denture Cleansers & Brushes, Hand Creams, Combs/Brushes, Mouthwashes, Deodorants, Dental Floss Other Items Needed: Feminine Napkins/Tampons, Adult Diapers Baby & Toddler Diapers, Diaper Rash Cream, Wipes, Kleenex Tissues, Hand Sanitizer

School Supplies and Clothing: Clear or Mesh Backpacks, 3-Ring Binders, Composition and Spiral Notebooks, Regular & College Ruled Paper, Graph Paper, Rulers, Red/Blue/Black Ink Pens, Pencil Pouches, Hand Held Pencil Sharpeners, Highlighters, Colored Pencils, Washable Markers, Dry Erase Markers, 2 Pocket Folders, Safety Scissors, Glue Sticks, 3X5 Index Cards, USB Flash Drives, Lanyards, All New or Gently Used Clean Clothing

The WFC leaders acted swiftly and efficiently in securing supplies to be delivered as soon as possible. Rotarians across the state are being mobilized to collect and distribute items listed above. Snohomish County food banks have reached out to the press to garner support, are sending locally sourced funds for emergency needs, and committing to delivering supplies in August. More supplies and help are being provided from WFC Members from Longview to Seattle to Wenatchee and many places in between. WFC Members need additional community support to get the much-needed supplies, as well as to partner with delivery.

Julie Washburn states: “This great display of teamwork and cooperation among Washington’s hunger relief agencies shows what caring and dedicated people can do when tragedy strikes.” Together, the Washington Food Coalition is the unified voice for a strong emergency food system and a unified team working so our fellow Washingtonians are safe and comfortable.

Please contact May Segle, Administrator Program Director at Entiat Valley Community Services, for more information about the need and how to deliver large goods:

call: 509.888.3999, e-mail: EVCSFB@nwi.net, 2084 Entiat Way, PO Box 697, Entiat, WA 98822

Due to intermittent power in the area, May be unreachable at times until infrastructure is strengthened. Interested parties can instead contact the Washington Food Coalition as an intermediary coordinator. info@wafoodcoalition.org

JOB ANNOUNCEMENT- Director, Donor Services Goodwill Olympics and Rainier Region in Tacoma, WA

Goodwill Director of Donor Services Position Profile

Suzan DelBene Visits Snohomish Summer Meal Sites!

On Monday July 21^st several Snohomish Summer Meals sites had a very special visitor. Congresswoman Suzan DelBene joined the lunch line to hand out meals to kiddos visiting the Snohomish Aquatic Center and Snohomish High School. With a smile she handed out sandwiches, salads and slices of pizza. Kristin Foley, the Communications Director at Snohomish School District, was our guide for the afternoon. There was excitement in the air as kids got to choose their main meal and sides. At Snohomish High School they even got to design their very own salad from the many options at the salad bar!

Kristin supplemented our experience of the program with stories and facts about the summer meals offered in Snohomish. The Aquatic Center is a relatively new site that is a mobile site - meaning the food is brought there after being prepared. These mobile sites expand the reach of the program to new demographics and make the program more accessible. This is important considering most kids travel to get their meal by foot or bike. Their partnership with the Snohomish Aquatic Center has provided a special incentive for the Summer Meal Programs here. After visiting any one of the five sites a total of ten times a child (defined as 18 years of age or younger) gets a free pass to the Aquatic Center! Kristin shared a heartfelt story about a family strapped for resources who saved these passes in order to plan a summer family vacation at the Aquatic Center. Another special incentive is the mobile library which follows the summer meals sites on Tuesdays offering as many free books as a child desires. The meals site at the Aquatic Center is intimate and serves about 20 kids a day. The next site, Snohomish High School, provided a very different and equally important view of summer meals as 292 kids were fed. With only several paid staff members hired by Sodexo, Congresswoman DelBene joined the ranks with six dedicated volunteer servers at Snohomish High School. Volunteer help is integral to the functioning of this important program. 

All of this effort has paid off. Four years ago there were 5,000 kids getting free summer meals in Snohomish. Last year they served 20,000. This year Kristin is certain they will surpass 25,000. Congresswoman DelBene listened intently and with compassion as Kristin shared her dreams for the program. Her next steps are to make the breakfast sites mobile. At the moment no breakfast sites are mobile, which she believes greatly contributes to the under-participation in the breakfast program. She has also raised close to $20,000 towards renovating an old school bus into a mobile meal truck. She still needs about $20,000 to fund this project. To raise the bar a step higher, she dreams to also serve dinner from this bus. When Congresswoman DelBene asked Kristin if she thinks the kids participating in the Snohomish Summer Meals Programs currently get dinner at home she replied- they don’t. Current federal funding for the Summer Nutrition Programs does not reimburse sites to feed kids dinner, but the Summer Meals Act of 2014 outlines a solution to that problem. The lovely summer afternoon wrapped up with Kristin’s inspiring ideas for eliminating childhood hunger in Snohomish and the Congresswoman’s caring remarks and support.

To provide support for these Summer Meal Programs in Snohomish please contact Kristin Foley  at communications@sno.wednet.edu or 360.563.7263

Second Annual PNW Gleaners Summit

 

By Stephanie Kardos, Harvest Capacity Developer

Gleaning: the act of collecting leftover crops from farmers' fields

after they have been commercially harvested, or on fields where 

it is not economically profitable to harvest.

Gleaning has been practiced for centuries and is now being reinvented and revitalized here in Washington and beyond. In fact, gleaning has become common practice at local food banks and distribution centers around the country. This modern revival has birthed new and innovative strategies for urban settings, such as bike gleaning and urban fruit tree gleaning.

This past June Rotary First Harvest and Washington Food Coalition held the second annual Pacific Northwest Gleaners Summit at TaborSpace in Portland, OR.  Gleaners from all around the West Coast came together to share and be a part of the growing gleaning community. 

As the 2014 Harvest Against Hunger capacity VISTA, I had the amazing opportunity to organize and host the event. The energy at the Gleaners Summit was infectious. Everyone was excited to network and share about all of the good work they do. We had two panel talks during the day and breakout discussions in the afternoon. 

Special guests Benjamin Rasmus and Heather Hoffman made a stop in Portland for the summit as part of their awareness bike campaign: Bike Against Hunger. This campaign involves bicycling from Seattle to Washington, DC to raise awareness about food waste and gleaning. Some of the attendees even rode with them after the summit to the after party at Cartlandia. 

Valuable information and stories were shared about gleaning and gleaning best practices. Several main topics included: 

purchasing food directly from farmers and sustainability of projects. Click here to visit Rotary First Harvest’s website for more details on this year’s takeaways as well as the overall summary of the 2013 Gleaners Conference. If you are interested in learning more about gleaning practices and incorporating gleaning at your food bank or organization contact me at skardos@wafoodcoalition.org or visit the Rotary First Harvest website www.firstharvest.org.

Exceptional Circumstances Waiver for Non-Congregate Meal Service

"The wildfires in Washington State are causing hardships everywhere.  Some of those hardships may qualify a Summer Meals site for an exceptional circumstances request so that children may consume meals off-site for a specified period of time.  If approved, the child would still go to the site, but would receive a complete meal and then leave to go to a safe place to consume the meal.

USDA has provided sponsors experiencing exceptional circumstances the opportunity to request a waiver for non-congregate meal service, based on confirmed information.   Confirmed information must come from a recognized creditable resource, such as the National Weather Service (NWS).   In additional to providing weather reports, the NWS also provides warnings and outlooks (http://www.weather.gov/).  If you have one or more sites that you think might qualify for a non-congregate meal service waiver, please refer to the document below for instructions to submit a request."

2014 MAC Candidate Application

Purchasing Produce From Farmers

By Stephanie Kardos, Harvest Capacity Developer

Getting fresh produce into the emergency food system is something that is on the minds of many people who work at hunger relief organizations. One way of doing so, that can have a huge impact, is to purchase produce directly from a producer. This practice benefits both food banks and farmers. Purchasing directly from a local farmer increases the sale of local crops while improving access to healthier food choices for hungry families. In addition, buying produce directly from farmers goes a long way to strengthen the bond a between farmer and their community food bank. At times where purchasing is not feasible, a farmer may be more inclined to make produce donations if they have a strong relationship with a local food bank.

This growing season Washington Food Coalition has partnered with Rotary First Harvest (and the Harvest Against Hunger AmeriCorps VISTA program) to work with pilot sites around the state to facilitate local purchasing from small farms. The pilot site purchasing model is based off of two purchasing programs currently being used in Western Washington. The Bellingham Food Bank’s “Seed Money Program” and Community Action of Skagit County. Three pilot sites have each been given $4,000 to purchase fresh produce from small local farms in Washington State. Based on previously completed studies of effective purchasing systems, the sites were guided to make contracts, pay before delivery, and reach out to multiple farms. By taking these steps we are hopeful that the sites will grow and strengthen the relationships with their small local farms, thus creating a solid partnership that will be mutually beneficial for both the food banks and farmers.

So far, there has been only positive feedback from the sites. Better still, farmers have been more receptive to the sites as they reach out and ask for donations. One site stated that the project has helped by bridging gaps in communication between the food bank and farmer that had previously presented a struggle. The second site is using the purchasing project to deepen an already existing relationship with the farms that have a strong donation practice. Finally, the third site is using the money to help several small farms get started by doing CSA style purchasing.  Look for a summary of the project at the end of the year, and join the sites as they share more information about the pilot program at the Washington Food Coalition Annual Conference in September.
