The PNW Wool Producers Cooperative has Officially Incorporated
It has been a long journey, but the PNW Wool Producers Cooperative has officially incorporated. So what is it, and how did it begin?

Last Friday, NABC joined staff and volunteers at @Catholic Community Services of Western Washington Farmworker Center to distribute $14,000 worth of fresh, local, and culturally relevant produce to 100 families.
This was our 13th food distribution project—and our largest to date! This year’s boxes featured produce from 12 participating local farms and an unprecedented variety of food: more than 38 unique locally grown products, including chilacayote, tomatillos, jalapeños, honey, eggs, raspberries, pears, and more—adding up to an estimated 4,000 pounds of food distributed to our community.
This project would not be possible without the generous support of North Sound ACH whose funding helps us address food insecurity while creating markets for local farmers. And a special thank you to Puget Sound Food Hub for donating to this year’s boxes!
We’re grateful to everyone who makes these projects possible—from the farmers who grow the food, to our partners, staff, and volunteers who help get it into the hands of families. ❤️
