We are proud to work with partners across the Olympic Peninsula to support access to fresh healthy food. Poverty levels in Clallam and Jefferson County are higher than the state average, with 1 in 5 children facing food insecurity and local food banks reporting increasing visitor numbers.

We work with over 20 partners sites across the region to connect folks with fresh, local, high-quality foods. Fresh fruits and veggies have a big impact on community health, local purchasing supports local economies and partnerships strengthen our food systems.

Join us in this effort with a contribution to the Olympic Peninsula Farm to Food Bank Fund- all donations are used for purchases of fresh local foods for donation to hunger relief agencies. Visit our website to learn more and donate: extension.wsu.edu/clallam 🍐🥦🫜
