Childhood tooth decay is a serious issue in Adams County, Washington and it’s closely tied to what our kids eat and drink. The new Arcora Foundationreport on childhood tooth decay here is a must read for our community. At Othello Food Bank we want to shine a light on how healthy food can be part of the solution. Nutritious options like fresh fruits, crunchy vegetables, dairy, and whole grains can support strong teeth, better overall nutrition, and healthier smiles for our kids. La caries dental en la infancia es un problema serio en el condado de Adams, Washington, y está estrechamente relacionada con lo que nuestros niños comen y beben. El nuevo informe de la Fundación Arcora sobre la caries dental infantil aquí es de lectura obligatoria para nuestra comunidad. En el Banco de Alimentos de Othello, queremos destacar cómo los alimentos saludables pueden ser parte de la solución. Opciones nutritivas como frutas frescas, verduras crujientes, lácteos y granos integrales pueden apoyar dientes fuertes, una mejor nutrición en general y sonrisas más saludables para nuestros niños. @followers The Ritzville Adams County Journal

Yesterday, we had the honor of sponsoring a table at our local Othello Chamber of Commerce Dinner Banquet a heartfelt thank-you to the Chamber for all the incredible work they do to support our community! We took this opportunity to shine a light on an important cause supporting local farmers and the Farm to Food Pantry program. Without our local growers, the supply chain that brings nutritious food to food banks simply wouldn’t exist. Their dedication keeps our community strong and helps feed those facing food insecurity across our state. We’re proud to stand alongside our Chamber and local partners, working together to make a difference where it matters most. @topfans #CommunityStrong #SupportLocalFarmers #OthelloChamber #FarmToFoodPantry The Ritzville Adams County Journal Columbia Basin Herald City of Othello, Washington Adams County, Washington Harvest Against Hunger

Washington State Department of Agriculture has launched the 2026 WSDA Hunger Relief Partner Survey #1 to gather feedback from hunger relief partners across Washington State. The survey will help shape future WSDA Food Assistance program policies, food security strategies, and potential budget or legislative requests for the next state biennium starting July 1, 2027. The survey includes 7 required questions and 4 optional questions and takes about 15–20 minutes to complete. It is intended for public agencies, tribes, and 501(c)(3) organizations providing hunger relief services in Washington, but any interested stakeholder may respond. Responses will be summarized and shared with partners and the nine Accountable Communities of Health, and will inform two additional survey rounds planned for April and June 2026. WSDA is using this series to listen, learn, and improve programs that help local communities fight hunger. Please complete the survey by **Monday, March 9 at 12:00 pm (noon)** and make your voice heard. @followers
