Why It Matters

Together, We Feed Our Neighbors

Salt of the Earth has served Snohomish County since 1992, and every year of service has been made possible by organizations and individuals willing to share what they have. We couldn't do it alone and we don't want to.

Whether you have surplus food, equipment, financial resources, or simply willing hands, a partnership with Salt of the Earth is a direct investment in the health and dignity of your neighbors.
