The Stillaguamish Tribe of Snohomish County, Washington, has donated $200,000 to Northwest Harvest for the holiday season. The tribe’s board of directors will present a check to Northwest Harvest the morning of the Home Team Harvest event on Saturday December 3.
This donation will enable Northwest Harvest to provide meals and groceries for community members who face hunger, providing an essential lifeline for individuals and families who are struggling financially.
The donation also demonstrates the tribal community’s commitment to helping those less fortunate, making sure everyone has access to nutritious food regardless of their economic circumstances. Furthermore, it gives children a chance to take part in a meaningful event that emphasizes the importance of taking care of one another. By attending the Home Team Harvest event, they become ambassadors for their culture, sharing the values that have been passed down through generations with the greater community in mind.
“As a tribe, we enjoy giving back to our community throughout the year, but we also enjoy surprising families during the holidays,” said Eric White, Chairman, Board of Directors, Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians. “We realize that the community as a whole has had a tumultuous last couple of years and that even more families can use some joy this year. We especially wanted to make an impact on as many children as possible”
