The Simply Organic Giving Fund granted $50,000 to the Emergency Food Network (EFN) in Lakewood, Washington for their efforts to reduce food insecurity. EFN’s Mother Earth Farm is a hunger relief farm that provides diverse and nutritious food to 71 food pantries, meal sites and shelters while also teaching incarcerated women job and life skills.
“Growing fresh fruits and vegetables at our Mother Earth Farm is an important part of our mission to provide Pierce County with diverse and nutritious food. “With the support of Simply Organic Giving Fund we have been able to distribute over 180,000 pounds of organically grown produce to our partner food pantries in 2019.” –Claire Grubb, Development Coordinator, Emergency Food Network
