The biggest motivation for me in developing Harvie was to create the service I wanted for myself. I wanted all of the best food in the region conveniently delivered direct to my home – this is the food I wanted to feed to my family.
Now I’m eating this great food every week while supporting small businesses, and I’ve never eaten better in my life!
However, I’m also aware that it is a huge privilege to eat this way and not everyone in Pittsburgh has the opportunity to eat like this. So I’m proud of our collaboration with 412 Food Rescue and the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank.
Here’s what we achieved with your help in 2021:
- In 2021, Harvie partnered with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and local food blogger The Pittsburgh Web for a campaign that resulted in the donation of over 10,700 meals for people in our community facing hunger.
- Harvie also works closely with 412 Food Rescue year-round, giving you the option to donate your weekly box instead of skipping. Thanks to you, over 17,249 lbs of food were donated, providing 15,681 meals to community members in need.
How can you join us in supporting this anti-hunger work?
Need to skip? Please consider donating your delivery!
If you are not able to receive a delivery, consider donating your groceries and we will get your food to someone in need via 412 Food Rescue. You can mark your delivery for donation on your ‘Upcoming Deliveries’ page in your Harvie profile: https://www.harvie.farm/member/deliveries
Donating your box also keeps your ‘Harvie streak’ going!
