Harvest Cares: Supporting students’ basic needs while they pursue their degrees
  • In 2018 Harvesting Scholars launched the Harvest Cares program to fight food insecurity among college students. What began with donated pastries from Panera Bread’s Doughnation Program and Red Lobster’s Food to Donate grew over the years into a mission of compassion and care. Today, as many traditional college students face financial challenges amid governmental policy changes, the Harvest Cares program continues to serve local communities helping students ages 18–25 to not only be prepared academically, but also holistically by supporting students’ basic needs while they pursue their degrees. Whether its sending care packages or gift cards during exam week, Harvesting Scholars Cares!
