About the Food Justice Collaborative

TheFood Justice Collaborative, founded in 2023, is a coalition of BIPOC-led and BIPOC-serving organizations fighting food insecurity in King County. The Collaborative aims to shift power in the emergency food system to those who have faced racialized oppression and discrimination. Our hope is to build a community where no one goes hungry by centering those who have historically been furthest from food resources and opportunities.

The co-leader group meets on the second Thursday of each month, and general meetings are held on the last Tuesday of each month. If you would like to get involved, please contact us.

FJC engages a collaborative learning framework to materialize the following pillars:

Power Building

Share resources, knowledge, and connections among members to build influence and effectively advocate for BIPOC communities.

Fund Development

Pursue flexible funding to sustain and expand BIPOC-led food initiatives, and support member organizations in expanding their development strategies and expertise.
