YAKIMA, Wash.-The Washington State Beef Commission and Second Harvest are partnering to provide beef at three mobile food markets for families in need this Dec.
Beef Counts Second Harvest Mobile Markets will be held Dec. 4-6 in Toppenish, Yakima and Ellensburg.
“The folks in Washington’s beef community know how to stretch a dollar, and their donations are critical to us as we work to help feed our friends and neighbors in need,” said Drew Meuer, President of Second Harvest.
2024 marks the 15th year of the Beef Counts/Second Harvest partnership and beef farmers and ranchers in Washington and the Agri Beef Co. raised funds throughout the year to provide beef at the mobile markets, according to the beef commission.
Families must pre-register for the Beef Counts distributions in Dec. and food will be distributed for up to 300 families at each location while supplies last.
“Even when times are tough, we’re blessed to have beef in our freezers, so Beef Counts gives us the chance to feed hungry people in our own communities,” said Ryan Stingley, President of the Kittitas County Cattlemen’s Association
