HAH Infrastructure Grants

The 2025 King County Local Food Infrastructure Grant Program is now complete.

Harvest Against Hunger administered the King County Local Food Infrastructure Grant to support 22 shovel-ready infrastructure projects that strengthen food system capacity across King County.

The program prioritized investments in cold storage, aggregation, processing, and distribution infrastructure for hunger relief organizations, small and mid-sized farms, food hubs, and community-based food providers. These capital investments addressed rising demand for fresh food, reduced food loss, and enhanced the resilience and viability of the local food economy.

Funded projects expand organizations’ ability to safely handle perishable foods, improve food safety and operational efficiency, and increase access to fresh, culturally relevant foods. Collectively, funded organizations serve an estimated 10,000–15,000 low-income, immigrant, refugee, BIPOC, and food-insecure households, as well as children, elders, people with disabilities, and individuals experiencing homelessness.

To extend the impact of County investment, the program also leveraged $150,000 in private match funding from the American Heart Association. Lessons learned during implementation will inform future program iterations, supporting continued efficiency, equity, and accountability in local food infrastructure funding.
