The farming community showed off its heart, as Lamb Weston donated over 70,000 pounds of potatoes to 2nd Harvest, a non-profit group that fight hunger in Eastern Washington and North Idaho.
Jean Tucker with 2nd Harvest said the very large donation will help thousands of families across the region. She noted hunger sometimes means needing help getting healthy foods. Tucker says often, those who struggle to make ends meet don’t purchase the healthiest foods, typically purchasing foods that are high in fat, sodium, etc. That makes the donation even more special.
Tucker added during the month of March, 2nd Harvest has teamed up with AgWest Farm Credit and Northwest Agricultural Consultants to put a spotlight on all the farming community does to help those in need.
