Mission Statement
Community Harvest Project (CHP), a 501(c)3 organization, is dedicated to creating healthy and engaged communities through volunteer farming and nutrition education for those who are experiencing food insecurity. Through their volunteer farming, education, and leadership programs they bring thousands of community members together each year. In 2022 they hosted 6,076 volunteer visits that allowed for 1.4 million servings of fruits and vegetables to be grown and donated through partnerships including the Worcester County Food Bank’s hunger relief network, Community Servings, and Hector Reyes House. Through their efforts they provide a significant amount of fresh produce for individuals and families in need in our community who otherwise may not have had access.
Description
We are a volunteer based non-profit community organization that grows fruit and produce and donates the majority of what we grow to the hunger relief network in Eastern and Central Massachusetts. Volunteers participate in all facets of the organization, we are volunteer centered and a certified Service Enterprise through the Points of Light Foundation. We offer a great place to spend time with family, friends, colleagues, team members or social groups while helping the community.
