<p><strong>Over the Hills and Far Away</strong></p>
<h2>You Can Be a Hero!</h2>
<p>The Charities Superfriends wanted to take a moment to salute all of the heroes in our midst who have donated money or non-perishable goods to Northwest Harvest in the past. But who are they? Where does your donation go? What does it do?</p>
<p>Northwest Harvest is Washington's own statewide hunger relief agency. Their mission is to lead the fight for hungry people statewide to have access to nutritious food while respecting their dignity and promoting good health. Their vision is ending hunger in Washington.</p>
<p>More than 90% of every dollar donated goes directly to help feed those in need all over our state. Northwest Harvest is the only non-profit food bank distributor operating statewide, with a network of more than 380 food banks, meal programs and high-need school programs. They provide more than 2 million meals every month and contribute 34 million pounds of food every year to the network of emergency food providers. Be a hero! Bring a donation to con! Donation bins will be located near the Information Table.</p>
<p>What types of food does Northwest Harvest need?</p>
<p>They can use any nonperishable food (or monetary donation). If you prefer to donate food, please select shelf-stable food with the lowest saturated fats and refined carbohydrates (sugar, white flour). They already buy white rice, beans, oats, pasta and tomato products in bulk, so please consider donating other items. Here are some suggestions (ranked by importance): Beef stew, chili and similar meals with low salt, sugar and saturated fats, canned fruit, especially with low sugar (but not artificial sweeteners), canned fish or meat, peanut butter (plastic jars are preferred), canned vegetables (low sodium), brown rice, whole grain pastas, canned tomato sauces, and shelf-stable milk.</p>
<p>Also welcome: baby formula, jars of baby food, powdered or canned milk, and infant cereal. They also accept baby diapers.</p>
<p>Every little bit really does help! And a big, big THANK YOU to everyone who has donated in the past. We hope you will continue to support Northwest Harvest in the future.</p>
