HELP US GROW!
Since 2008, Harvest Now has expanded to 16 states and 112 prisons through a strong partnership with the Department of Corrections. Together we've produced over 2.6 Million pounds of food for families in communities that struggle with food insecurity, and every year we continue to expand our reach.
We work exclusively with State prisons.
We'd love to hear from you.
