Every year, more than 50 percent of U.S.-grown produce is wasted before reaching the dinner table. Much of it ends up in landfills, contributing to greenhouse gases. To reduce this waste, we secure semi-truckloads of imperfect produce and ship it to Kansas City, where it is widely distributed by our partner, Harvesters – The Community Food Network. Each truck carries about 40,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables — or more than 160,000 servings — for our hungry neighbors.
PROGRESS TO GOAL: 1 of 10 TRUCKS!
So far in 2022, After the Harvest has secured 38 truckloads. This holiday season, ATH is seeking 10 corporate sponsors to cover the cost of 10 semi-truckloads of healthy, imperfect produce to be shipped to Kansas City. Thanks to our first sponsor, Kompass Kapital, roughly 40,000 pounds of nutritious fruits and vegetables are headed toward our community.
