Supporting Washington farmers feeding families.

Summary

The bill sets up two grant programs run by the Department of Agriculture that give money to nonprofit groups to purchase surplus Washington produce, dairy, grains, and protein directly from farmers and send it to food banks and other hunger‑relief agencies. It gives priority to experienced nonprofits and seeks to include minority, veteran, women, and tribal producers. Recipients must report on how the funds are used and the department may adopt implementing rules.
