VOLUNTEER

Your contribution will change the lives of those visiting Harvest Project seeking a hand up. Note: As a result of the COVID crisis some available volunteer opportunities are changing. We are very happy to be gradually returning to on-site client appointments as we continue to monitor this challenging situation.
