*NEW* 2025 Community Impact Report

Our 2025 Community Impact Report tells the story of what’s possible when communities come together to ensure everyone has access to basic necessities. Over the past year, Essentials First partnered with food banks, community organizations, healthcare providers, and volunteers across Washington to expand access to hygiene supplies for people facing economic hardship. From pallet-sized deliveries to regional food bank partners to targeted community distributions, these efforts helped close a persistent gap in traditional food assistance: access to essential hygiene products that protect health, dignity, and opportunity.

The report highlights the scale of this work and the partnerships that made it possible. Together with our supporters, we distributed hundreds of thousands of hygiene items through trusted local partners, supported culturally responsive community programs, and advanced policy conversations about hygiene poverty in Washington State. These efforts ensured that families could access the everyday essentials they need to show up for work, school, and community life with confidence.

We invite you to explore the full report to see the impact your support makes possible. Whether you are a donor, volunteer, policymaker, or community partner, this work belongs to all of us. Thank you for helping make sure that everyone in our communities has access to the essentials and dignity they deserve.
