Advancing farm to hunger relief purchasing across Washington.
GFG is a community-funded partnership uniting farmers and hunger relief organizations to ensure that all our neighbors are nourished with fresh, local food and every farmer can build a viable future.
Farmer Centered
Growing for Good supports local farmers who receive upfront payment in the spring, allowing them to invest in seeds, soil amendments and equipment before the growing season begins.
Community Focused
Growing for Good matches hunger relief organizations with farms growing culturally familiar produce- increasing the amount of fresh, high-quality and nutrient dense produce available to their clients.
People Funded
In the spirit of cooperation, this is all made possible through community donations.

"We like and need the early season income. We appreciate the flexible nature of what we can send throughout the season according to what is most abundant each week. It's very nice to get paid for growing food for folks who otherwise wouldn't have access."
