Food Security in Yakima Valley

Yakima Valley Partners for Education, a collective impact initiative in Washington State, provides drive-through food distribution for the Yakama Nation Reservation and other residents of the Yakima Valley. We talked about this program with Lucy Smartlowit of Peacekeeper Society and Suzy Diaz of Heritage University about how and why they target food insecurity in order to improve outcomes for children.
