Hope is in your hands
Fresh fruits and vegetables are going to waste. There are thousands of hungry people in the Greater Kansas City area in need of nourishing, healthy food. Enter After the Harvest.
We work to reduce waste, rescuing produce so it ends up on hungry families’ tables, instead of in a landfill or rotting in the field. But, we don’t do it alone. Thanks to thousands of volunteers, growers and financial donors, After the Harvest, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, brings apples, berries, squash, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, potatoes, peaches and many other kinds of healthy fruits and vegetables, completely free of charge, to agencies feeding our hungry neighbors.
We can do more. You hold the power right in your own two hands. Here’s how all of us, working together, can continue to rescue millions of pounds of healthy food for hungry people…
GLEAN
Glean after the harvest, picking what’s left in farmers’ fields and orchards so nothing goes to waste.
PICK UP
Pick up already harvested leftover produce from farmers markets, farm stands and other locations.
PROCURE
Procure semi-truckloads of produce no longer destined for stores, usually due to slight imperfections.
You can bring nutrition to our hungry neighbors this holiday season and beyond. Boost the immunity of our community.
Sign up for 2021 gleaning dates via our Volunteer Calendar coming this February. Thanks to all for a great gleaning season this year!
