Harvesters - The Community Food Network

Harvesters' mission is to feed hungry people today and work to end hunger tomorrow.

• About Us
  We are a regional food bank serving a 26-county area of northwestern Missouri and northeastern Kansas. Harvesters' main facility is located in Kansas City, Missouri at 3801 Topping Ave. Harvesters also operates a second facility in Topeka, Kansas at 215 E. Quincy St. Harvesters' AmeriCorps program educates, engages and empowers the community around food insecurity, because together we CAN solve hunger. AmeriCorps Specialists create and build relationships with a diverse network of supporters by engaging them as volunteers, teaching kids and adults how to make healthy meals and snacks and how to maximize their food budgets, providing nutrition outreach through mobile and pantry distributions, and empowering our community to access food assistance resources such as SNAP (Supplemental Food Assistance Program, formerly known as ‘food stamps’). Harvesters’ culture is team-oriented and we value the contributions which AmeriCorps members have made to the organization since 2005.
• Our Impact
  Harvesters provides food and related household products to more than 620 not-for-profit agencies including emergency food pantries, community kitchens, homeless shelters, children’s homes and others. Our network feeds more than 141,500 different individuals each month.
