Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, with family, friends, and lots of food!! Thanksgiving is a time to remember how lucky we are and to be thankful for the bounty that we have. I am very thankful to all of you who have supported us this year by gleaning and transporting produce to local pantries, Harvester’s food bank, day cares and schools, senior centers, and agencies that help people in need. I am thankful for all of you who have helped in our office, helping with data entry, the website, finding more pantries and volunteers, and all the things that have to happen to make our mission of feeding people fresh produce possible.
We could not do what we do without you. Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday and we have yet another opportunity for you to help us feed hungry families. We are encouraging folks to shift their focus on Tuesday, Dec. 2, from buying presents for family and friends to helping provide nourishing produce for the struggling families, children and seniors in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
Here are three easy ways to support After the Harvest on this national day of giving:
1. Donate on Dec. 2. Just go to the top of this page and click on the “donate” button.
2. Share your Gift of Gleaning Stories.
3. Sign up now to glean next year - call or e-mail Karin with the date you would like to glean and I’ll put you on the calendar.
And as always, please forward our e-mails to others who may be interested in our mission.
Thanks so very much!!!
Karin
