Harvest Share in Gresham

The Harvest Share program is based out of the Oregon Food Bank and provides free and ample produce to the poor.  In East Multnomah County, there are two main locations for Harvest Share: the Rockwood Seventh Day Adventist Church and the Salvation Army, Gresham Corps.  






Here is a description of the Harvest Share program by the Salvation Army:

They come from all walks of life, some who are coming for their first time and some who have been coming for more than 8 years. They come for comradery, for conversation, a warm smile, and of course, their food. The first Wednesday of every month, the family services at The Salvation Army Gresham Corps puts together a Harvest Share program where those struggling financially and in need of food can come and receive food. Harvest Share is actually a service sponsored by Oregon Food Bank and their Fresh Alliance program where fresh produce from local stores is donated and provided to the participating agencies. In addition to the fresh produce like meat, dairy, vegetables and fruit, Salvation Army workers and volunteers gather donated non-perishable food items throughout the course of the month to add to the selection. 

Please read the whole article on the Salvation Army site.
