WCDGP Data
The Washington Commodities Donation Grant Program, funded through the Climate Commitment Act (CCA), was implemented by WSDA FA from January to June of 2025. Throughout the program period, grantees collected data about the rescued food that they were sourcing and distributing. This data is being complied with other CCA-funded projects to share out the high-level impact of reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the positive impact of projects on WA communities overburdened with air pollution.
