SEATTLE, Wash. - Northwest Harvest and KING 5 today announced the launch of the 26th annual Home Team Harvest campaign, a statewide effort to support food access across Washington and bring communities together in the shared work of ending hunger. Running from Nov. 3 through Dec. 31, Home Team Harvest aims to raise $5 million while providing multiple ways for Washingtonians to get involved. Whether through donating food or funds, volunteering, hosting a food or fund drive, advocating for a hunger-free future, or spreading the word, the campaign invites people across the state to take action in ways that work for them. Presented by Northwest Harvest and KING 5, in partnership with the Seattle Seahawks, Safeway, Warm 106.9, Les Schwab Tire Centers, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, and community organizations across Washington, Home Team Harvest has brought communities together around food access for more than 25 years. "Home Team Harvest reflects the best of Washington," said Thomas Reynolds, CEO of Northwest Harvest. "Year after year, people come together to support their neighbors, strengthen their communities and help ensure everyone has enough to eat. Whether someone gives, volunteers, rallies their community, advocates for solutions or helps spread the word, every action matters." This year's campaign is organized around a simple theme: $5 million. Five ways to show up. Washingtonians can participate by: * Giving food or funds * Volunteering their time * Hosting a food or fund drive * Advocating for a hunger-free future * Amplifying the campaign through outreach and social sharing The campaign comes as many households across Washington continue to face rising grocery costs and economic uncertainty, while food banks and community food programs are serving growing numbers of people. "Home Team Harvest helps meet immediate needs, but it's also about bringing communities together," Reynolds said. "When people come together around a shared purpose, they demonstrate what's possible through collective action." A key moment in the campaign will come on Saturday, Dec. 5, when KING 5 airs its annual Home Team Harvest television special. The broadcast will feature stories from across Washington and highlight the people, organizations and communities working every day to ensure everyone has enough to eat. "The Home Team Harvest broadcast special is an opportunity to celebrate the remarkable work happening in communities across our state," said Christy Moreno, president and general manager, KING 5. "We'll be sharing stories of food banks, volunteers, advocates, community partners and everyday Washingtonians who are helping meet today's needs while building a stronger future." In addition to making donations and participating through volunteerism and community drives, supporters can help expand the campaign's reach by sharing information with friends, coworkers, neighbors and online communities; and through pin pad checkout donations at participating Safeway and Albertsons stores statewide. "One of the things that makes Home Team Harvest so powerful is that there isn't just one way to participate," said Lisa Quinn, director of community philanthropy. "Everyone has something to contribute, and when thousands of people take action together, the impact can be extraordinary." Campaign organizers hope to engage communities across Washington while raising critical resources to support food access.
