Health Food Financing Initiative in the Pacific Northwest – Virtual Info Session

Posted by EcoTrust

Type: Events
Location: Statewide
Start Date: November 5, 2025

Ecotrust is a part of a partnership of nine organizations—including community development financial institutions (CDFIs), business assistance organizations, and place-based agencies—working toward the vision that all communities in Alaska, Washington, and Oregon have access to healthy food.

Through this partnership, we’re providing low interest loans, planning grants, and technical assistance to food businesses and retailers located in and/or serving low-income communities with increased access to healthy staple and fresh foods.

As part of launching this initiative, we are inviting those who are interested in learning more to join us for an info session to be held on Wednesday November 5th at 3P PST/2P AK. You can RSVP for the information session below. (Another session specifically for Alaska coming soon!)

If you’re not able to attend, we will share the recording here: ecotrust.org/healthy-food-financing-initiative
