Winter Drive: Heart of Washington
This annual donation drive aims to demonstrate gratitude, care, and community joy to the farmworkers and their communities in Washington. During the coldest and darkest part of the year, we invite our urban communities to show up for the rural communities that feed us all. Join us this October and November in gathering culturally responsive food, household goods, hygiene items, and new books for readers of all ages.
​
This year we are aiming to provide 200 cultural food boxes this year and need to raise $5,500 by the end of November. Donate or learn more about our Cultural Food Box via the video below or via our Omprakash campaign. One cultural food box costs $30-- we hope you join us in an act of gratitude for the communities who feed us!
​
Heart of Washington donations will be arriving to communities within the first two weeks of December, ensuring that they reach families and individuals before the holidays.

Every action ripples out. Thank you for joining us.
What is in a Culturally Conscious Food Box?
Our rural partners made specific food requests that honor the heritage and culture of the community. Each cultural food box will contain: masa, dry beans, rice, tortillas, chicken bullion, canned tomatoes, canned tuna, fideos packets, Chocolate Ibarra or Abuelita, Johnny's Seasoning Salt, canola oil, and pancake mix.

Food is tradition. Food is healing. Food is love.
