FEEST is an organization led by youth of color in South Seattle and South King County working to improve health in our schools. Focusing on the need for more healthy, affordable, and culturally relevant food at school, FEEST centers young people as leaders toward concrete changes in our food systems. Our mission is to set the table for young people to transform the health and equity of their community by gathering around food & working towards systems change. At the foundation of our work are youth-led dinners where students gather around food and build community with peers. Breaking bread together builds lasting connections that become a foundation for long-term organizing. Rooted in radical joy, we are building power toward policy changes that increase food access for all students.

Founded in 1982 and a certified member of Feeding America, The Houston Food Bank's mission is to provide food for better lives. In the last fiscal year, which includes COVID-19 response, we provided access to 159 million nutritious meals in 18 counties in southeast Texas through our 1,600 community partners of food pantries, soup kitchens, social service providers and schools. Filling gaps on plates, we have a strong focus on healthy foods and fresh produce. In collaboration with our community, we advocate for policy change and racial equity, and promote dialogue on ways to increase access to food and to improve the lives of those in our communities, including services and connections to programs that address the root causes of hunger and are aimed at helping families achieve long-term stability: nutrition education, job training, health management, and help with securing state-funded assistance.

Our mission at Farm Lot 59 is to incubate and inspire the culture of urban farming in our community through education, food accessibility, and by serving as a model of regenerative agriculture practices. We envision a world where our farm is a hub for connection and hands-on learning — a place where you can learn how to grow your own food, explore healthier ways of living, and discover pathways to meaningful local work. Through our Farm to Food Bank program, we provide fresh, nutrient-rich vegetables to our neighbors in need. Our social enterprise flower shop helps fund this work, turning the beauty of our farm into support for the community. And through outdoor education programs, we invite students, volunteers, and visitors to dig in, learn new skills, and see what’s possible in urban farming. We believe in cultivating a healthier, more resilient future — a future where everyone has access to fresh food, opportunities for meaningful work, and the tools to live sustainably. Everything we do is grounded in the principles of responsible agriculture, hands-on education, and creating equitable access to fresh, nourishing food for our entire community.
