PURPOSE: Approve and authorize the County Executive to execute the Washington Department of Agriculture grant agreement.
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this agreement is to facilitate strong relationships and effective communication channels among Washington State's emergency food response networks, including county and state government agencies and local hunger relief organizations. To fill continued gaps in emergency food resources, funding will be used for county-directed procurement and distribution of emergency food to hunger relief organizations as part of a state alternative to the federal USDA Farmers to Food Box program. This agreement is part of the state's coordinated response to increase farm and food business viability, reduce food access barriers for socially disadvantaged communities, and increase food security for all Washingtonians while contributing to long-term emergency preparedness and food system resilience.
This Grant Agreement is for the period of October 28, 2024, through June 30, 2025, in the amount of no more than $248,490.56. This agreement was not included in the Grant Workplan for 2024 thus requiring Council Approval.
