On behalf of the Othello Food Bank, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Lutacaga Elementary, Lutacaga Lions-PTA , students, and families for your generosity and community spirit. Your commitment to supporting the Second Harvest Inland Northwest Othello Bite 2 Go program is truly inspiring. Through your efforts raising $989 during a spirited Change War, with the PTA matching that amount and adding an additional $500 you contributed an outstanding total of $2,478. These funds will go directly toward providing nutritious weekend meals for local children in need. Thank you for your leadership, teamwork, and dedication to helping others. Your partnership demonstrates the remarkable impact that schools and community organizations can achieve when working together to strengthen our community. @followers Othello School District City of Othello, Washington Columbia Basin HeraldThe Ritzville Adams County Journal No Kid Hungry Second Harvest Tri-Cities Innovia Foundation
Hello Othello! What WAFOOD6 brings to the table The WAFOOD surveys, led by University of Washington and WSU with Washington State Department of Agriculture support, track Washingtonians’ economic well‑being, food access, and food assistance use, with intentional oversampling of lower‑income and food‑assistance‑using households so policymakers see conditions for those most at risk. Recent results (WAFOOD5) showed groceries are the hardest expense to afford, with 78 percent of respondents reporting price increases, strong worry about future increases, and many food‑insecure households cutting both the quantity and quality of food they eat. https://redcap.iths.org/surveys/?s=PHK33MRDKW99HKET @followers The Ritzville Adams County Journal Columbia Basin Herald Washington State DSHS Adams County, Washington City of Othello, Washington
