In an extraordinary demonstration of generosity, our community rallied together to achieve a grand total of $57,649.61 raised in our recent end-of-year fundraising campaign. This success is a testament to the collective efforts of our team and the enduring belief in our mission by our incredible supporters.
To all participants and supporters of the Amaizing Sweet Corn Glean-a-Thon and Sweet Corn Festival, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to you for your unwavering dedication and enthusiasm that made this year’s event a resounding success. The After the Harvest team is immensely thankful for your continued support.
Volunteering with ATH to rescue fruits and vegetables and donate them to those in need is an amazing opportunity to make a difference in your community. Not only are you helping to reduce food waste and fight hunger, but you’re also reconnecting with where our food comes from and learning more about the produce we’re harvesting.
After the Harvest’s Strawberry Day 2023 was a resounding success! Thanks to the generous donation of 3 pallets of fresh strawberries from Driscoll’s Berries, a total of 2,880 pounds of the sweet and juicy fruit were distributed to 31 different agencies across 25 different zip codes in the 5 county area (Jackson, Clay, Platte, Johnson, and Wyandotte). Despite the event being postponed for a month due to mudslides and flooding in California, our dedicated staff, volunteers, and agency partners worked tirelessly to make sure these berries got into the hands of those who need them most.
