Foothills Community Food Partnership
In 2013, Foothills Food Bank gathered together a group of like-minded people to form the Foothills Community Food Partnership (FCFP). This consortium of community members and representatives from local organizations share a vision of creating a healthy, integrated food access system for the entire Foothills region.
​
In addition to Foothills Food Bank, members include representatives from the Opportunity Council, Washington State University's Whatcom County Extension, Whatcom County Health Department, and the Northwest Agricultural Business Center.
​
Our collaborative efforts to improve food access and community resilience are built by incorporating community input, hosting community events, collaborating with like-minded partners, and supporting mutually beneficial programs.

Food Summits
