Salem Harvest is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization established in 2010 that harvests local produce that would go to waste and donates it for distribution throughout the community. Marion-Polk Food Share is our largest distribution partner. On average, 400,000 pounds of fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables are harvested per year by volunteers and their families, making Salem Harvest the la
rgest community harvesting organization in Oregon. In a state with one of the highest rates of childhood hunger, Salem Harvest volunteers and growers have the opportunity to provide direct support for thousands of families and individuals. Whether you are a farmer, neighborhood tree owner, interested volunteer, or someone who just wants to participate in a harvest, we invite you to join us in our mission of building a compassionate community where neighbors help neighbors in a spirit of goodwill, where hungry families can gain self-sufficiency, where our urban and rural bounty is recognized and appreciated, and where simple, sustainable lifestyles are celebrated.
