Using Food to Strengthen Training and Employment Programs

For many of the neighbors we serve, the path out of food insecurity involves finding stable, and better yet, thriving employment.

That’s why Harvesters is partnering with local workforce development organizations to help participants move out of hunger and towards greater economic opportunities.

How We’re Doing It

It’s hard to focus when you’re hungry. It’s even harder to climb the career ladder when you’re struggling with ongoing food insecurity. We provide food to local workforce development organizations to help support participants as they seek to acquire new skills, find job placement opportunities and work towards better economic opportunities.

Help us Stamp Out Hunger! All you have to do is fill a bag with donated food and set it out by your mailbox on Saturday, May 11. Then, our extraordinary letter carriers, perform double-duty by collecting bags of donated food along their postal routes. This drive will happen rain or shine!
