Every $1 donated helps Harvesters provide three meals in our community. Donate food today Donate food at our Kansas City or Topeka facilities during normal business hours. Look for our blue donation barrels in area grocery stores, including Price Chopper stores. Give Lunch Collect or purchase single-serving, shelf stable foods and then assemble sack lunches. This is a great activity for a corporate or community group. Lunches assembled from this food drive/volunteer activity are used for youth feeding programs, including Kids Cafe, and also are distributed at libraries, clinics, and schools, and are used in disaster response. We will provide a list of specific food items and packing supplies. To learn more about Give Lunch, please contact Harvesters' Community Engagement Team or call toll-free 877.653.9517.
