Harvesters needs our help! Last year, Harvesters helped distribute 67.8 million meals to families in need. As we approach the holidays, they rely even more heavily on volunteers to accomplish their mission of distributing food and household products to emergency food pantries, community kitchens, homeless shelters, and children’s homes.
Heart of America has signed up to help sort and repack products, but space is limited. Please RSVP to Tom Metzner at tmetzner@lockton.com.
If you’re unable to volunteer on the 16th, please consider making a donation to this worthy organization: https://www.harvesters.org/how-to-help/donate
