Brothers Jeff, Kevin and Matt stopped by this morning to drop off a heartfelt donation in honor of their late brother, Stephen Cloud, who was the former CEO and president of IBT Industrial Solutions. IBT is a family-owned company that believes strongly in community, and we are grateful for the support they've shown Harvesters for the past 15 years. "Stephen was always dedicated to giving back to our community and helping others — we're proud to honor his legacy by supporting the remarkable work [Harvesters] does," says IBT. @cabledahmerautomotive has also generously agreed to match this donation, totaling their impact to $40,000. Thank you both very much for helping us nourish our neighbors — we know Steve would be incredibly proud.

Yesterday and today, our team commemorated the 54th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots by wearing our best pride gear and supporting the LGBTQ-owned catering company, @dutzelscatering (Independence), and the inclusive Topeka restaurant, @burgerstandtopeka. Not only did this delicious lunch give us the opportunity to embrace the diversity in our team, but it reminded us how grateful we are to work alongside and serve a variety of communities throughout Missouri and Kansas. #pride #pridemonth #supportlocalbusiness #diversity #equity #inclusion

As we wrap up another impactful fiscal year, we would like to thank our past board president, Kimberly Svaty (first picture on the left), board treasurer, Andrew Lindeman (second picture on the right), and board member, David Gates (not pictured), for their exceptional counsel and contributions to our mission. Their terms may be ending, but their compassion and impact will forever be remembered by our neighbors and team at Harvesters. You will be missed!

As our Youth Hunger Summit comes to a close, we asked a few of the young leaders to tell us what this experience has taught them about food insecurity. Here's what they had to say: "Food insecurity may not be visible at the surface. There may be people you know at school or in the community who may be food insecure, but you may not know it because they are good at hiding it or don't speak about it as often," says Ivanka Joshi, 16. "It's important for us to advocate in our community, work towards ending hunger and help those affected by it," says Abrar Khan, 15. "Harvesters has just really brought to light all of the different things that they have to attack, and I think it's a wonderful program that has worked hard to help people in need," says Reese Irwin, 16. Thank you all for dedicating the entire week to learning how to advocate for hunger and support neighbors in your community! For more volunteer opportunities, visit the “Give Time” link in our bio.

Exciting news! Agencies in our community food network now have the opportunity to partner directly with @doordash to deliver food and other household items to neighbors who are unable to make it to a mobile food distribution or pantry. Not only will this new partnership help strengthen our food programs (especially for seniors), but it will help us connect underserved communities and food deserts with healthy food options and resources, making us one step closer to our goal of creating equitable access to food and addressing the root causes of hunger. #ProjectDash #food #assistance #fooddelivery

"You can't help but smile when you're around Norwood." Norwood (middle) started as a temporary employee at Harvesters and became a full-time stocker in December 2021. He is the most recent recipient of our monthly Can-Do Award, which recognizes employees based on our staff values, and was recently promoted to warehouse utility for his commitment to teamwork, safety and Harvesters' mission. Thank you, Norwood, for leading by example and spreading positivity to staff and neighbors in our community!
