To Our Partners and Volunteers

We are grateful to our partners and volunteers and thank them for believing in and working toward creative sourcing of food distribution to our neighbors who are facing food insecurity. We are proud to partner with these organizations and companies. Our neighborhoods are the core to any healthy community and by providing more accessible points for healthy, culturally relevant foods as well as opportunities for neighbors to help neighbors, we believe a neighborhood's resiliency strengthens.

We partnered with Northwest Harvest and Peacekeeper Society to design three large pantries for placement and use on the Yakama Nation. We're so grateful to these organizations for working with us to bring culturally-relevant foods, accessible 24/7, to the community, tribes, and peoples living on the Yakama Nation Indian Reservation. We can't wait to see the painted designs and final location placements for these pantries and we'll share with you all when we do!

The goal of the Beacon Food Forest is to bring the richly diverse community together by fostering a Permaculture Tree Guild approach to urban farming and land stewardship. By building a community around sharing food with the public its hope is to be inclusive to all in need of food.  The Little Free Pantries will be an extension of these goals of Beacon Food Forest by providing a pantry to the community.
