Donation Made to Coastal Harvest

Great NorthWest Federal Credit Union was privileged to be able to deliver a $10,000 donation to Coastal Harvest, a local food bank distribution center located in Hoquiam, WA.

Great NorthWest FCU already contributes thousands of dollars annually directly to our local food banks in Grays Harbor, Pacific and Lewis Counties. This donation was made to the distribution center from which a lot of our local food banks receive goods.

Brent Hunter, Executive Director of Coastal Harvest has been instrumental in creating a locally-sourced avenue for food. When the COVID pandemic caused ripples across distribution and supply-chains, Brent got creative and reached out to local farmers and vendors. The program has been so popular, it continues to grow. These funds will directly assist Brent and Coastal Harvest to expand this program and continue to purchase locally grown goods from local families.

The funds stay local - so not only is food getting into the hands of people who need it, but it’s supporting local businesses and small farms. It’s truly a win-win.
