washington's beef industry united against hunger
| Washington's Beef Industry has united against hunger. Teamed up with Second Harvest and Food Lifeline, Washington's farmer and ranchers have been able to provide over 346,000 servings of beef to neighbors in need. Without the beef, only 4% of the food distributed to families and seniors in need is high-quality protein. That works out to less than one ounce of protein per day for the average family of four, which falls way short of the USDA recommended six ounces of protein per day to maintain a healthy diet. Find out below how Washington's farmers and ranchers are "meating" this need and how you can help! |

Over half of the people served by the food bank are kids like me, and seniors, who need the protein, iron and zinc found in beef to be healthy." Dakota Olberding, Connell, WA
