Institute for Washington’s Future supports the ongoing funding of Common Threads’ Farm to Freezer Program, a collaboration led by the Bellingham Food Bank in partnership with Bellingham Public Schools, Common Threads, and the Whatcom Community Foundation. This project has enabled the Bellingham Food Bank to establish a direct relationship with local farmers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic who have had to adapt to the loss of their traditional markets. The Food Bank purchases the product directly from local producers, which in turn is created into delicious, nourishing food for our community’s most vulnerable members.
