Washington Food Coalition
Who We Are
We are your coalition of emergency food providers, governed and directed by people in the trenches, representing all areas of the state. We are based in community to serve our communities. Gathering strength through peers, organizing to find common goals, bringing our shared values together to create a strong collective voice of the emergency food system.

Washington Food Coalition is The Voice of Emergency Food Providers
Incorporated in 1992 as a private non-profit, WFC is the result of a merger between the Western Washington Food Coalition and Eastern Washington's Northwest Regional Food Network. With the goal of creating an efficient, reliable network of food programs in mind, volunteer coalition members first started working together to share best practices, struggles, and triumphs across the field.
With the ever-changing environment surrounding emergency food, WFC continually adapts our efforts to make sure our members receive the most out of their membership and ensure no one in Washington goes hungry.
Every year, we hold elections for board positions. This year, the odd-numbered districts are open. Please see our board page for more details and a nomination form.
Your gift helps communities across the state more effectively meet hunger where it happens.
You make it possible for us to develop and provide top notch training, resources and support for front-line agencies working to address hunger in their communities.
We provide and facilitate peer to peer networking across the state so that we may all learn from and find strength from one another. Many of our members are operating on bare bones budgets that do not offer resources to attend expensive conferences and training. With your help, we are able to offer small agencies, even some who are all volunteer run, access to free on-call help, and high caliber annual conferences full of training at a fraction of the cost of similar events. Access to these resources helps communities across the state more effectively meet hunger where it happens.
