About this organization
Mission
After the Harvest’s mission is to fight hunger, improve nutrition, and reduce food waste by rescuing fresh produce and distributing it to organizations that feed hungry people. Founded on May 19, 2014 in Kansas City, ATH provides a simple yet profound way to feed people year-round by saving fresh produce that would otherwise go to waste and getting it to people who would otherwise go hungry. We do this by targeting the two main points of large-volume food waste: (1) farmers’ fields after the harvest and (2) packing operations where produce is prepared for shipping to markets. ATH is working to provide 4 million pounds of fresh produce to food banks and feeding agencies in Missouri and Kansas in 2020. In ATH’s Truckloads Program, farmers, growers, and produce-packing plants donate tractor-trailer loads of nutritious produce that cannot be sold due to cosmetic imperfections. We then arrange for its packaging, handling, and safe transport to food banks and feeding agencies in Missouri and Kansas, focusing primarily on the 26-county area that encompasses Kansas City. Harvesters – The Community Food Network is our primary distribution partner for large truckloads of produce we provide. Through our Gleaning Program, farmers and growers donate their fields and orchards after harvest for gleaning by ATH volunteers. Diverse groups of volunteers from faith congregations, civic and community organizations, and corporations gather crops that would otherwise be left to rot or to be plowed under. The resulting produce is transported to food banks and agencies.
