Join our 2020 Food Drive Benefiting Northwest Harvest

Join Smith Brothers Farms to help fight hunger in Washington!

From February 17 to 28, we're holding our annual food drive benefiting Northwest Harvest. Hunger continues to persist in households all across our state. There are 848,990 people who are struggling with hunger every day, and of that number, 284,760 are children.

Last year, we collected more than 18,000 pounds of food and $3,000 in cash donations from your porches and we hope to surpass that number in 2020!

Here’s How You Can Help

Give Food

Place non-perishable food items in a bag labeled “Food Drive” on your porch box the night before your delivery day and your milkman will take care of the rest!

If you’d like to make a monetary donation, please make your check out to Northwest Harvest, place it in an envelope marked “Northwest Harvest Food Drive” and put it in your porch box for your milkman to pick up.
