Hunger Doesn't Have To Happen
About us
Feeding people facing hunger today and solving hunger for tomorrow. Every year, nearly 40% of our country's food ends up in landfills while millions of people go hungry. Food Lifeline rescues and redistributes healthy, nutritious food to people in need. We receive millions of pounds of surplus food from farmers, manufacturers, grocery stores, restaurants, and retailers every year. Our Hunger Solution Center, completed in 2016, has 190,000 square feet of space to hold this rescued food before volunteers sort and repack it. Food Lifeline then delivers it to more than 350 food banks, shelters, and meal programs throughout Western Washington - providing 280,000 meals every to our most vulnerable community members. At the same time, we are working to solve hunger for future by advocating for change and partnering with other organizations and agencies dedicated to ending hunger. The Hunger Solution Center is a hub for innovation and partnership that allows our community to join the movement to end hunger. We convene people at all levels to mobilize efforts that address hunger and other measures of poverty. It is easy and effective to donate your food, funds, voice, or time towards ending hunger. Visit FoodLifeline.org and find out how you can get involved.

BTW, we have a new website! We created this new site to better support our mission, our partners, our volunteers, our supporters, and our clients. It more fully represents the breadth of the work we are doing in collaboration with others to end hunger in Western Washington—and makes it easier for everyone to access the information that they need. Specific goals of the new site included: -Accessibility. -Streamlined design with clear, clean navigation. -Powerful storytelling, incorporating more visuals. -More content to convey ALL the important work Food Lifeline is engaged in to end hunger. -Highlighted calls to action. -Providing background and learnings about the root causes of hunger, specifically poverty, racial inequity, and social injustice. -Connections for Food Lifeline audiences to the specific, valuable information and resources they need, along with actionable next steps. We are engaged in many areas as we work to end hunger, and this new site highlights information and stories on all of this work. Huge thanks to everyone who helped bring this project to fruition, and to our incredible design team, New Media Campaigns. Explore the new site and let us know what you think! www.foodlifeline.org

John Oliver just covered universal free school meals on Last Week Tonight! The show's main story this week focuses on school lunch, why it’s so important for students, and why the national school lunch program in many US states is not working as well as it can. Oliver argued that school lunch should be considered an essential school supply like books or desks, and called on the federal government to reinstate universal free meals. “We have the power to ensure that no kid in this country is hungry when school gets dismissed,” he concluded, “and we should be exercising that power.” As a food justice organization, we're excited to see the momentum of the #freeschoolmeals movement and continue to advocate for universal free school meals and programs that give more students access to free meals. #freeschoolmeals #endhunger https://lnkd.in/gAm4Qedv
