When clients and their families have temporary
difficulty affording food, the Harvest
Project provides them with enough food
for every family member for one month
at a time. Unlike the food bank model
where people needing food must take what
they are given, Harvest Project clients
are given the dignity of choosing the
food they want and like, just like they
would in a grocery store. We provide
mostly dry and canned, non-perishable
goods but also have a steady supply of
baked goods and fresh produce. Toiletries
and household supplies are also available.
At Christmas, we also provide toys for
children. The Harvest Project delivers
groceries to customers who do not have
their own transportation.
