YAKIMA, Wash. – Northwest Harvest , a nonprofit founded in 1967, has been making significant strides in combating food insecurity across Washington. The organization distributed over 20 million pounds of food in the 2024 fiscal year.

In recent years, Northwest Harvest has expanded its impact by opening two community markets in the state. One of these, the Fruitvale Community Market in Yakima, has been a crucial resource for those in need.

Since its opening in March 2023, the Fruitvale Community Market has served as a vital hub for providing food at no cost. The market served over 145,000 shoppers from July 2024 to June 2025, distributing over 2 million pounds of food.

The market operates six hours a day, three days a week, distributing nutritious food. Reynaldo Villaseñor Maced
