Why We Gather
Up to 1 in 5 of our Bellingham neighbors faces food insecurity.
Right here in Whatcom County — one of the most beautiful corners of the Pacific Northwest — approximately 9,000 households and 35,000 residents experience food insecurity. Thats 15–20% of Bellingham residents.
PNW Plateful exists to change that. Every week, we prepare 840 nutritious, scratch-made meals for individuals and families across Whatcom County. Every dollar raised at this auction helps us continue that work, putting nourishing food on the table for people in our community who need it most. Your bid is someone's meal.
