[Wsssc] Washington Food Fund and Community Requests for Help

[Joe Holliday]

Colleagues: I am passing two items related to food insecurity. The first is an attachment describing the Washington Food Fund and a toolkit developed by the Governor's office to address food insecurity around the state.

The second item is below. It is a request for donations of food service supplies that our Workforce Education Department asked me to forward to you. Since the schools will still be trying to meet the needs of FRPL and other vulnerable student populations even with school building closure, they continue to seek food service supply donations.

Subject: Community Requests for Help

Hi Joe, Would you be able to send the following community requests for donations out to your listservs?
Thanks, Erin
--------------------------------
In the current environment, it is essential for communities to come together to meet the needs of our friends, families and neighbors. Community and Technical Colleges are at the heart of many communities and we have received a couple requests to share information about community needs and opportunities to help. Please share this information widely and thank you for all you are doing to support your communities.

Request for donations to support K-12 schools' efforts to continue providing meals to students during COVID-19 closures:
Schools are running low on supplies they normally don't need for serving meals: clam shells, bags, portion cups, etc. OSPI's Child Nutrition Services director is reaching out to several advocates for help with finding sources that could donate materials to schools, and college food service came up as one option. If a college has supplies to donate, they should contact their local school district's nutrition director (or an administrator).

Request for donations to support food banks:
The biggest needs have been for boxes and tape for packing up food for distribution sites and cleaning supplies. They also need bags and take out container supplies for congregate meal programs. Send donations directly to local food banks.
