From thousand-acre apple and cherry orchards, to hopvines and grapevines that cover hillsides, to corn and wheat fields that extend for miles, the region is a top producer.<\/p>\n<p>Amid so much crop production, it may be surprising to find that 38 percent of people in the county reported food access as a top need in 2023, according to a Yakima Valley Libraries <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yvl.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/YVL-Community-Needs-Assessment-Final-Report.pdf\">Community Needs Assessment Study<\/a>. In families with an average income of less than $25,000 a year, that number jumped to nearly 60 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The main challenge these families face is an unreliable employer \u2014 the weather, explains Cecilia Chavez, director of the Toppenish Community Chest.<\/p>\n<p>A steady paycheck for many people in the Yakima region depends on the growing season, which can change from month to month, she says. If weather fluctuates between extremes that aren\u2019t typical for the season, a crop could suffer, meaning less work is available.<\/p>\n<p>With their rural geography, any closure of a business can also mean the loss of hundreds of jobs and limit the number of resources available, she adds. Some of these towns have only one food bank or health clinic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have as many opportunities and organizations around to get help. All of the families are competing for the few services we do have,\u201d Chavez says. \u201cWith everything getting so expensive like rent and food, it\u2019s been really hard to make enough to cover just the bills. Food can be even more challenging \u2026 a lot of people in our region are also undocumented and don\u2019t qualify for state services.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Toppenish Community Chest is working to fill that gap.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Filling the gap<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tccfoodbank.bnk\/\">Toppenish Community Chest<\/a> (The Chest) was formed in 2003, but its food bank roots date back to the 1960s, Chavez explains. These days, The Chest serves as a point of access to a wide range of programs, including food and clothing banks, a Saturday soup kitchen, health and nutrition education, bilingual cooking classes, school supply drives, access to Zumba classes and referrals to outside services like housing and immigration assistance.<\/p>\n<p>The Chest primarily serves the towns of Toppenish, Zillah, Grandview, Granger and Yakima. While some towns have their own food banks, they may not work for everyone\u2019s schedule or provide access to the many other services The Chest does. Chavez works closely with the Yakama Nation to extend resources to the reservation, where support services are also limited.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, The Chest has cemented themselves as a welcoming and trusted source of assistance in the region. In recognizing that many people may be hesitant to reach out for support given their immigration status, The Chest ensures that all services are free and as confidential as possible, Chavez says. The only requirement to access the food bank is to provide your name and the number of people in your household, and at their Saturday soup kitchen, which serves those facing homelessness, no information is collected \u2014 volunteers only count meals served. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35187 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/10\/toppenish-2-239x300.png\" alt=\"A woman helping another woman at a food bank.\" width=\"239\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/10\/toppenish-2-239x300.png 239w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/10\/toppenish-2.png 534w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Chest collaborates with many other community organizations, including churches, the Lions and Rotary clubs, health care providers, county and state agencies, first responders and the Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers are key to making The Chest\u2019s work happen each week, Chavez says. Volunteers and the board of directors staff the food bank every Tuesday from 5-6:30pm to accommodate work schedules and distribute more than 40 meals each Saturday at their soup kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all the important services they provide, Chavez says it isn\u2019t enough to fix the bigger issues the community faces. There are shelters during extreme weather, but not year-round; patients must travel into Yakima for substance use disorder treatment; and there are limited options for safe and reliable after-school child care, she explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne thing that we always try to say is that we won\u2019t fix it by giving them food and getting them out the door. We need to find a place or service so they can transition into a better path forward,\u201d she says. \u201cWe focus on providing for the right now, but our community needs something long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bringing a healthy spin to tradition<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One way The Chest is setting families up for a healthier future is through their bilingual, culturally based cooking classes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always believed that food is medicine, so what you eat is how you will feel and function,\u201d explains Christelle Gorman, program director consultant for The Chest. \u201cKnowledge is power, and a lot of people don\u2019t have the knowledge to make sound nutritional choices. These classes are giving them that opportunity to learn about nutrition and set their family up for success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Funded by a grant in 2020, The Chest has so far hosted two nutrition-based cooking classes for women, one in Spanish and one in Ichishki\u0301in (the Yakama Nation language). They focused on using foods that are commonly provided by food banks, or can be sourced locally or purchased with SNAP benefits. They also taught participants how to look for healthier alternatives in the store, like foods with lower sodium or canned fruits with water rather than syrup, Gorman says.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Yakima region is well-known for impressive crop production.
