That’s how many kids in Harvesters’ service area are enrolled in the free and reduced-price meal program at school. For families who rely on these meals as a nutritious, low-cost food option for their children, weekends and summers can be a challenging time. Help Harvesters help families bridge the gap.

Youth Ambassador Program

Hunger is a problem that is largely unseen in our community. That’s why raising awareness is critical to the success of Harvesters’ mission.

Harvesters' Youth Ambassador program is designed for teens interested in hunger, leadership and volunteering. Youth Ambassadors fulfill 50 points of service during a year-long term by completing tasks such as giving a school or class presentation, speaking to a community group or organizing a food drive.

Ambassadors must be students in grades 10 or 11 and have a 3.0 minimum GPA, as well as interest in hunger relief and public speaking.
