We were honored to be given a $1,000 grant from the Bank of Greene County last week! These funds will be used to purchase groceries for Helping Harvest, our low-cost grocery store for struggling families.

Thank you to everyone who attended our 2026 Charitable Foundation Awards Ceremony at our Ravena branch! This year we are awarding $534,000 to local organizations!

Organizations who received grants at the Ravena branch were Catskill Teachers Association, Friends of the RCS Community Library, Historic Altamont, Hope Full Life Center Inc., Ravena Innovation Station, Justice For Orphans, Selkirk Fire Department, & Village of Ravena.

Helping Harvest runs on community 🌟

Looking for a meaningful way to give back locally? Helping Harvest is always looking for volunteers to help keep our shelves stocked, organize deliveries, and support families in our community.

Whether you can give a few hours once a month or help weekly, every little bit truly makes a difference.

We especially appreciate volunteers who can assist with heavier deliveries and lifting, but there’s a place for everyone to help.

Interested in volunteering? Send us a message or stop by the store to learn more.

A model that actually works for real people.

It feels awesome to be with other organizations and people fighting hunger in RCS! We were glad to participate in the RCS Association of Churches’ FUN Walk (Feed Ur Neighbor) on Sunday.

Stats on hunger among veterans, seniors and other vulnerable populations were shared. We also talked about local resources to assist people, including our Helping Harvest program.

Hot weather is on the way! 🔥🥵

We need help replacing Helping Harvest's failing HVAC system to keep our program safe and comfortable for the families, volunteers, and staff who rely on it every day. Can we count on you?

What makes Helping Harvest different is its foundation of shared responsibility.

Families pay less for groceries than they would at traditional stores, while still contributing toward the program. Those contributions help sustain the initiative and ensure it remains available to others in the community.

It’s more than receiving support — it’s about participating in a community that works together to help one another thrive.

We’re better prepared for emergencies at Helping Harvest!

Thank you to the Troy Savings Bank Charitable Foundation, Inc. and the American Red Cross Eastern New York for providing us with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and the training needed to use it. This support helps us create a safer environment for our members, volunteers, and staff.

currently serves 361 (and growing!) member households across Albany, Greene and other neighboring counties. 🛒

Every membership represents a family working hard to make ends meet while accessing affordable, nutritious food.
