Northwest Harvest is the only statewide hunger relief agency in Washington. In the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2004, they secured 18.3 million pounds of food and supplied this food, without fees of any kind, to a network of 300 food banks and hot meal programs that provide nearly half a million services each month throughout the state.

Approximately 40 percent of the clients served by the network are children, and over 16 percent are elderly—those most vulnerable to a compromised diet and who have the least control over their circumstances. On average, the food bank provides a vital food source for 474,359 people per month, including 19,019 infants, 189,143 children and 73,517 senior citizens.

By creating, finding and supporting programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) is working to better the lives of children and their families around the world.

The three core programs of RMHC - the Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Family Room and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile - are focused on helping families in need. Our cornerstone Ronald McDonald House program began in 1974 based on a simple idea: Provide a "home away from home" for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. Since that time, more than 10 million families around the world have benefited from the comfort provided by a Ronald McDonald House.

Boys and Girls Clubs have a mission to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. The program and operational vision is to provide the highest quality Boys & Girls Club programming possible, providing outreach services to serve additional youth while always maintaining a fun, safe and positive environment at all Boys & Girls Clubs branches. Boys and Girls Clubs accomplish this through a variety of valuable community programs, including:

• Education & Career Development
• Health & Life Skills
• Character & Leadership Development
• The Arts
• Sports, Fitness & Recreation
