Hi. I’m Vickie Harris, and I invite to join me in supporting After the Harvest this holiday season. In fact, I’m challenging you to be a part of the holiday giving campaign: Join me in supporting ATH by helping to match my $5,000 gift before year end.

ATH is a wonderful organization. Preventing the waste of nourishing food and giving struggling families an opportunity to eat well – it’s work that really makes a difference. There is a strong correlation of good health and the foods we eat, as well as impacting sustainability through the reduction of food waste.

When I started as a board member seven years ago, I could not see myself sending this message to you. You see, while I have always been a part of fund raising, whether meeting with potential donors in the community or providing my own personal financial commitment, I donate anonymously. My thought is “let the gift do its work.”

However, the need is great. Together, we can provide a half a million servings of fresh fruits and vegetables for hungry people in our community. Will you please donate today? Help match my $5,000 gift and together we can make a real difference for our community.
