Encouraging Food Donation
I support requesting the Washington State Legislature to fund harvesting and transportation costs associated with donated agricultural commodities. These are monies paid to Washington growers and producers for processing and packaging donated agricultural products in an acceptable size for food banks. Washington growers and producers produce food in abundance and have incredible amounts that end up unsold. Much is captured by donation and diverted to food banks, but a greater amount is lost, including to landfills. Will you join us source more of this food for the state's hunger relief system?
