They have a lot of hours per week where you can drop off clothes at their building in Gladstone.

Our "kids" are in their 20's and it is still one of our favorite family activities. Two hour shifts that go by so fast and we have rarely ever gotten the sane area in all these years!! Grab your family, coworkers, friends or just join when available and make a difference!

Community: a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests,…read moreand goals. That's what I get from giving my time and efforts when volunteering at Harvesters: a sense of community. Sure, I could just go help for the feels, but it's so much more than that. For one, awareness of the need is a huge part of volunteering at any food bank or pantry. In any part of this great country, there are fellow community members who go with less, if not entirely without. Did you know that with COVID, the local need is up more than 40%? No? Me neither. The need is *real* and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Harvesters rallies the community, bringing together volunteer forces from groups like churches, local companies, or other like-minded organizations. Harvesters combines those volunteers with donated foodstuffs and churns out amazing programs like the BackSnack initiative for school children or boxes of food for seniors. Marissa, the community engagement manager, guided us through some safety tips before we hit the packing line, and we were all in sync, moving towards that common goal. Whether you volunteer your time, donate food, or provide financial resources, Harvesters gives us all that important sense of belonging and understanding. Communities grow strong when we pull together during times of great need, and those communities flourish because of our common effort.

Not being able to work puts our budget for food at an all time low. Not only are the staff friendly, but they genuinely seem to enjoy volunteering there.
