DEAR FRIENDS,
The 2022 Gleaning Season is winding down for After the Harvest. We’re picking turnips and winter squash right now, but the below-freezing temperatures will soon put an end to the growing season in our region. We look forward to sharing the bounty of produce that we get through our produce distribution hub pickups and truckloads program throughout the year — but we can’t do it without your help.
This holiday season, ATH is rolling out a series of firsts. This week, we’re excited to share with you our first-ever Impact Gift Catalog. Click the link below to read more about our Share the Abundance campaign, including fundraising goals, the challenges we face, and how you can help fight food insecurity, improve nutrition, and reduce food waste in Greater Kansas City. Ensure you’re subscribed to our newsletter so you don’t miss additional upcoming announcements!
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
With so many ways to give, glean, gather, grow and get involved, we can’t wait to welcome you to After the Harvest. Take your pick.
DONATE
It doesn’t take much to do a lot. The time is now: Feeding America estimates that 43 million people in the U.S. didn’t have enough food in 2021 (pre-pandemic–35 million). The crisis of food insecurity in our region due to the pandemic is far from over.
One single dollar can provide more than eight pounds of produce. Every dollar supports gleaning and helps us bring in semi-truckloads of fresh produce that might otherwise be thrown away. Give today.
VOLUNTEER
From families and groups, to individuals, organizations and corporations, After the Harvest volunteers of all ages glean, manage events, fundraise and even represent us as Yambassadors. Find out how you can help.
