At After the Harvest, we glean excess produce from farm fields, but also pick up already harvested excess produce from farms, farm stands and farmers’ markets and deliver it to food banks (like Harvesters) and pantries to feed hungry people. We also need lead volunteers who will "Adopt-a-Market" for the season on a rotating schedule. (For example, pick-up at City Market every 1st and 3rd Sunday, or pick-up at Overland Park Farmers' Market every 2nd Saturday). Each Lead Produce Rescue Driver will receive special training and packaging at the beginning of the season. Additional one-time volunteers will be matched with a Lead Produce Rescue Driver to help with pick-up and delivery to nearby food agencies. We currently pick up at the following Farmers Markets through October: Brookside, Overland Park City Market, Lenexa, Parkville, Lee's Summit, and Unity Village. If you have a vehicle that can haul produce, and you have a heart to help those in need...ATH can sure use your help! Pick up donated produce every week or periodically from farms, markets and distributors. Bring the kids and make the experience come full circle by delivering to food banks, pantries, shelters and community kitchens in the Greater Kansas City area. Other opportunities: Your organization/group wants to glean? Reserve your date now. You want to lead a gleaning? We always need field supervisors. You want us to come speak to your organization? We’d love to meet you! After the Harvest has a very small staff, so we only succeed because of volunteers like you! Thanks so much for helping rescue fresh, nutritious produce to feed those in need.

Virtual Opportunity
Where does the food go? Who is receiving the delicious, fresh produce that After the Harvest delivers every weekday and some weekends? This year, we have committed to finding out how many people are able to experience the joy of eating good healthy food that they received from their food pantry or kitchen. Will you help us meet our goal? We need a volunteer to contact a small list of organizations that have received food from ATH each week and find out how many each organization served.This can be done via email or phone and an estimated time commitment of about an hour or two per week right from your own home. This is great for the person that likes to be "on the inside" learning more about food insecurity and solutions. Can you be an office volunteer? We'll work with your schedule, but we'd love to have you help at least once a week for 2-4 hours. After the Harvest has a very small staff, so we only succeed because of volunteers like you! Thanks so much for helping rescue fruits and vegetables to feed those in need.
