COMBATTING FOOD INSECURITY & SUPPORTING FOOD RESCUE
Last year alone, the Moscow Food Co-op donated 14,380 lbs of food to regional food banks & pantries.
Providing access to food and eliminating hunger are always at the top of our minds. To aid in these efforts, we partner with a network of more than 33 local food pantries. We also partner with the Palouse chapter of Food Not Bombs, which leads the way in gleaning edible foods from our store that would otherwise go to waste and distributing it to members of our community.
We also extend support in the following ways:
A pick up bin located near our coffee bar for customer food donations
Encouraging programs combatting food insecurity to apply for the Co-op’s Change for Good community support program
Monthly rotating grocery donations to area pantries located in schools, ensuring students in grades K-University have access to fresh and healthy food options
Working with local volunteer groups to coordinate food donations to area food banks
Annual food drives for the American Hometown Food Drive
