About Us

Poverty on the Palouse is a citizen-based initiative group focusing on concerns raised by the community. In 2014, homelessness was the issue brought to the forefront. Results from that forum included the development of Family Promise of the Palouse.

Our current goal is to address the high food insecurity rate of this area.

To meet our goal of increasing food security, we created a resource guide, Weaving Abundance on the Palouse. Weaving Abundance on the Palouse is about connecting those in need with existing resources. The WAP Resource Guide is available to view, print, or download.

Our focus at this stage is on relationship building with community partners offering assistance, and to identify specific individual needs related to food security. We work in cooperation with existing agencies to support or create sustainable systems to improve food security in the Palouse region, beginning with Latah and Whitman counties.
