Supporting Washington farmers feeding families through grants and contracts.

The bill establishes two programs to support Washington farmers by reducing food waste and increasing access to local produce. The farm donation grant program procures Washington-grown produce, grains, dairy, and protein at risk of waste for distribution to hunger relief organizations. The farm to food pantry program provides funding, contract models, and administrative support to nonprofit hunger relief organizations for direct purchasing from local small-scale farmers.
