The Federal government passed a budget that will take food away from tens of thousands of Seattle residents. This comes on top of a $240M revenue shortfall in the City of Seattle budget. If our elected leaders don't act now to raise additional revenue, MPC members will experience deep budget cuts starting in 2026 and be forced to scale back services at a time of increasing need.

Hundreds of hunger relief organizations, including the members of the Meals Partnership Coalition (MPC), rely on this funding to be able to provide nutritious and culturally uplifting meals and groceries at meal programs, food banks, food pantries and food box programs across the state.

With the recent news of the South Seattle food hub cancelation, the MPC cold storage at OSL’s SODO location, takes on an even greater importance for the meal providers in our city.
