Washington Food Coalition newsletter / Winter 2020
WaFoodCoalition.org
No one in Washington State should go hungry
Message from the Executive Director Happy New Year! Good riddance to 2020! Let’s hope 2021 brings good health, continued vigilance against this virus and vaccinations for all. Just like all of you, the Washington Food Coalition learned how to adapt to life during this Pandemic. Our priority became sharing resources and helping you respond to the Pandemic. We produced a daily COVID-19 newsletter, sharing important news and current information; offered two trainings in our Re-Emergence series - Nonprofit Financial Strategy in Response to Crisis and Volunteer Management: How to Build a Volunteer Community, including resources on how to open a DUNS and SAM account. We also offered GET READY: Disaster Planning Workshop. Including a Disaster Planning for Nonprofits Guide. All this information and tool kit are available on our web site, www.wafoodcoalition.org. In 2021, we will continue to develop resources to help enhance your services by offering virtual trainings on Client In-take software programs, highlighting various in-take software programs including Link2Feed, Food Bank Manager, PantrySOFT and Compass 360. We will also be offering our Food Bank Certification Course, including sessions on Food Banking, Food Safety, Forms Training, Basic Nonprofit Information, and Volunteer Management, all virtually. These trainings will be coming in late January or February. Please keep reading our newsletter for training dates and times. We also will soon be sharing new guidance sheets on Mask Usage, Distributing Food Outside & Indoors, Staff and Volunteers With COVID-19 Symptoms and Accepting Food Donations. These were produced by the coalition – distilling information from a variety of sources to create easy to read guidance sheets for you and your volunteers. We plan on offering our annual conference in 2021 - September 29th to October 1st in Wenatchee, of course only if we can do it safely depending on state governance. Mark your calendar! Happy New Year! Thank you for your continued work and partnership, Stay safe, Trish Twomey trish@wafoodcoalition.org 206-729-0501

As we wrap up 2020 and enter into a new year, WSDA Food Assistance (FA) will be offering contractor inventory management training and providing recommendations for EFAP Spring Meeting processes and decision topics. We will also continue conversations with the Food Assistance Advisory Committee and contractors statewide to reduce barriers and clarify client intake processes for all FA programs. In regards to client intake processes, we have already sent a letter to all contractors with the request that they send it to their subcontractors. This guidance outlines Client Intake and Data Collection requirements for Food Assistance programs. If you have not reviewed that letter yet, please do so to ensure your intake processes do not require unnecessary documentation. In addition to this letter, WSDA has committed to offering more training, tools, and resources on this issue. At our next WSDA Food Assistance Advisory Committee Meeting in early 2021, we will discuss what additional measures we can take to reduce client barriers while remaining compliant with program regulations. Future discussions will focus on needed alternatives to some common intake processes, further removal of barriers to client access, and considering policy changes that specifically prohibit requesting client documentation.

In the coming months we will have more information regarding state and federal legislation about the resources - both in food and money - that will hopefully be available for continued support throughout this next year as COVID-19 continues to impact hunger relief operations and client numbers across the state. Above all, we are grateful to the hunger relief organizations across Washington who continue to be resilient in the face of unprecedented challenges. We know this has been a tough year for everyone, and are inspired by the way organizations have remained flexible and adapted so that people across the state do not have to go without food.

You don’t need a reminder that disasters are bound to happen. We are living through what we hope is the tail end of a global pandemic. We have seen how an earthquake or a wildfire can impact a food bank’s ability to serve. The next devastating event is around the corner. It’s time to get ready. Yet disaster planning is too often postponed because the crisis isn’t here yet, and there are so many other things to do. Knowing how to get started—or to sustain the process through the end—can be hard because it means finding time and rallying the board and staff or volunteers. As Thurston Food Bank Executive Director Robert Coit notes, ““Human nature works against you. We forget the pain and the tough moments as a defense mechanism.” The new “Disaster Planning in Nonprofits” guide and resources are designed to make it all easier. It breaks down the process into three steps: Document, Gather, and Problem Solve. The Document step captures key information and puts it into a physical and online place where you will be able to find it in the future. Gather does the same for important organizational documents. In Problem Solving, we run through different scenarios so you do the thinking now and not when a disaster is facing you down. We give you the resources to jumpstart the effort for your organization. We shared these resources in a webinar in early December. If you missed it, don’t worry. The recording and all of the materials are still on the course website available to you. Schedule time after the holiday rush to watch the recording and review the guide and tools. Put disaster planning on your next board agenda. Let’s make 2021 the year when we are ready for whatever comes.
HUNGER ACTION DAY 2021 Hunger Action Day will be a week of virtual advocacy this year – Feb. 8-12 The upcoming legislative session will be like none before: the legislature will only meet remotely. All committee hearings and votes will be virtual, so Hunger Action Day will also be virtual! We’ve done it before (because of snow, not a virus…) and we’re going to do it again. We will have a week of short, easy-to-attend, virtual activities that will culminate in meetings with legislators on Friday, Feb. 12. We are still working out the details – register for Hunger Action Day here (https://forms.gle/EWDY4y479iWzUwXd8), and we will send you information about our trainings and activities, and schedule appointments with your lawmakers.
ANTI-HUNGER AND ANTI-POVERTY PRIORITIES
in Gov. Inslee’s 2021-23 Budget Proposal
The Anti-Hunger & Nutrition Coalition creates an annual state legislative agenda with input and guidance from members and AHNC’s steering committee, including WFC. AHNC’s legislative agenda is here. On December 17, Gov. Inslee released his 2021-23 budget proposal – among the many significant and life-changing policies, this budget provides expansive funding for food banks, SNAP clients, schools and farmers. It adds significant funding for permanent affordable housing and rent assistance. It funds the Food Policy Forum and recommendations from the Poverty Reduction Work Group, as well as the Working Family Tax Credit, which have been important AHNC priorities in past years. It proposes tax breaks for certain businesses hard hit by COVID, and it creates new revenue from a capital gains tax for certain households. It is the most significant budget from a governor in its commitment to fighting hunger, poverty and inequality – at all levels and across our state government. Check out the details in Gov. Inslee’s budget here (https:// www.ofm.wa.gov/budget/state-budgets/gov-inslees-proposed-2021-23-budgets ) , and read AHNC’s summary here.

Coming soon to your mailbox ...new, simplified guidance sheets for your organization’s staff and volunteers.
 The WFC created simplified guidance sheets on five topics including Masks and Facial Covering, Accepting Food Donations, What to Do When a Staff Person or Volunteer has COVID Symptoms, and Distributing Food Indoors and Outdoors. Each sheet boils down the important points you need to know and to follow. They are footnoted with sources and provide links to state policies from DOH, L & I and the Governor’s Proclamations.
We hope you find this guidance helpful in your daily operations.
