Salt of the Earth is built on generosity. Churches, grocery stores, restaurants, farms, and businesses of all sizes have a meaningful place in this mission — and a real impact on the families we serve.
Find Your Partnership ↓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.
Every partnership produces real, measurable results — food in families' hands, waste diverted, and community trust built.
Everything stays in Snohomish County. Your donation feeds your neighbors — people in your zip code, shopping in your stores.
We make it easy. No red tape. We'll work around your schedule, your capacity, and your preferences.
We acknowledge our partners in our communications and events. Your organization's generosity is a story worth telling.
No two partnerships look the same. Here's how different organizations partner with us — and how yours might too.
Faith communities are some of our most powerful partners. Whether your congregation wants to volunteer together, conduct a food drive, sponsor a distribution site, or provide ongoing financial support, there is a meaningful role for your church in this ministry. Many of our distribution locations are hosted by faith communities — and that welcome matters deeply to the families we serve.
Grocery partners are a cornerstone of what we do. Surplus produce, bread, dairy, and packaged goods that would otherwise go to waste instead go directly to families in need. We'll work with your team to create a simple, consistent donation process that fits your operations — and you'll know exactly where the food goes.
Restaurants produce surplus food every day. Instead of that food going to waste, it can become a meal for a neighbor in need. We can work with your team on scheduled pickups of prepared or surplus food — handled with care and distributed the same day to families across our sites.
Local farms have a unique opportunity to bless the community through their harvest. Gleaning partnerships, surplus crop donations, and seasonal produce sharing mean that what grows in Snohomish County can feed Snohomish County. We accept fresh produce, bulk vegetables, fruit, eggs, and more — and we'll work with your harvest schedule.
Distributors with surplus, discontinued, or near-date inventory can make some of their largest community impact through a partnership with Salt of the Earth. We have warehouse space, volunteer capacity, and a direct distribution network that can put food in families' hands quickly — with no bureaucracy.
Your business doesn't have to be in the food industry to make a meaningful contribution. Equipment donations, financial sponsorships, employee volunteer days, and in-kind support all have a real impact on our ability to operate. We welcome partnerships with businesses of all sizes who want their work in Snohomish County to mean something beyond the bottom line.
We respect that your time is valuable. Here's how a partnership with Salt of the Earth comes together.
