The mission of Hunger Intervention Program (HIP) is to increase food security for underserved populations in North King County through nutritious meals, educational programs, and advocacy.
HIP's vision is nutritious, culturally relevant food for all people. We serve thousands of fresh, delicious, and nutritious meals each week to seniors, families with children, and people experiencing homelessness. HIP also runs cooking and nutrition education classes and food justice workshops to empower community members to lead healthy lives and advocate for their food rights. We actively engage with local, statewide, and national coalitions of food justice organizations to advocate for policy-level changes to address the root causes of hunger.Â
HIP recognizes the role that racism plays in food access disparities and serves communities most at risk of food insecurity. The Washington State Food Security Survey (WAFOOD4) released in February 2023 found that food insecurity disproportionately affects families with children and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. HIP is located in one of Seattle's most diverse and low-income neighborhoods. Most of the families that HIP serves are from BIPOC and low-income communities.
HIPâs direct service meal programs include:
