There are two weeks left to contribute to KING 5's 18th annual Home Team Harvest to benefit Northwest Harvest - and we need your help! This year's campaign has raised almost 5.5 million meals, but we still have a ways to go. With your support we can reach our goal of providing six million meals for families in need in Washington state!
Right now in Washington, 1 in 6 children lives in a household that struggles with hunger and 1 in 9 people are considered “food insecure.” Northwest Harvest is the largest independent hunger relief agency in the state, working tirelessly with more than 375 local food banks, meal programs and high-need schools helped them to end hunger and provide equitable access to nutritious food for all our Washington neighbors.
You can continue to donate through the end of December online, through text, in person at your local AT&T store, or by buying a $10 Hunger Bag at your local Safeway or Albertsons.
