Mission Statement

Harvest for Hope is a new program of Skagit County Community Action Agency, created to support our fight against hunger in Skagit County. Harvest for Hope is a gleaning program with the goal of increasing the supply of nutritious, fresh produce to Skagit County food banks and hot meal programs through gleaning from local farms and gardens. This program of Skagit County Community Action Agency was created in collaboration with Rotary First Harvest, a group which has already established several successful gleaning programs throughout Washington State.

Description

If you enjoy spending time outdoors, like working with plants, or simply want to have a direct, meaningful way to contribute to your community, volunteering with Harvest for Hope is the service opportunity for you! You can get involved with gleaning directly by harvesting at our gleaning events; gleaning depends greatly on volunteers willing to donate time harvesting food. There are also other ways to get involved with Harvest for Hope, which include volunteer recruitment, harvest training, etc. If any of these opportunities sound like the right fit for you, contact us so we can give you more information on how to get started.
