Student Service Squad
Calling all kids! We need your help with a special mission! The objective: help create a healthy, thriving community where no one is hungry. We’re working on it here at Harvesters, but we can’t do it on our own. It will take strength, smarts, the ability overcome obstacles, and most importantly, for us all to come together to create lasting impact!
Do you accept the mission? If you’re ready to help, here’s what you need to do to become an official member of the Student Service Squad.
- Get your teacher, leader, coach, parent or adult to be your sidekick. Every superhero needs someone they can depend on!
- Look through the opportunities below together and choose one or more that you want to work on. Be sure to check out the recognition rewards to help set your goals.
- Put out the call for help to get others involved. Make a plan then kick off your project! If you ever need any help or have any questions you can always reach out to a Harvesters Student Squad leader at:

Host A Food Drive
- Host a Food Drive to collect donations for Harvesters. Here is a list of our most needed items and a food drive toolkit to help get you started.
- We also have the option of hosting a virtual food drive! For every $1 donated, we are able to provide 2 meals!
Pack A Food Kit
- Pack Healthy Family Meal Kits so we can nourish families throughout our community.
- Pack Holiday Boxes to provide cheer and the comfort of a holiday meal during the winter season.
- Pack Birthday in a Box Kits so that our neighbors can have a chance celebrate their special day.
Bag It Forward
- Transform old or unworn t-shirts into easy to make reusable tote bags. These tote bags will be distributed to neighbors visiting Harvesters’ agency partners, providing them with a sustainable way to carry their food items home.
