Our Purpose
The primary purpose of SHF is to alleviate poverty and hunger by soliciting and judiciously distributing surplus marketable and wholesome grocery products to a network of charitable food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other distributing organizations, which in turn distribute these products to needy and hungry people.
SHF will develop, monitor, strengthen, and otherwise support this network of charities by fostering communication, setting standards for distribution and storage, and disseminating educational materials appropriate to our collective mission of helping people in poverty.
SHF will educate the public and private sector, and the community in general, about the nature and solutions to the problems of hunger and poverty.

This has been an exciting year for Shared Harvest with a lot of new programs to address the quality of food. The Kroger Retail Pickup program has certainly filled the ticket to bring beef, pork, poultry and vegetables directly to the plates of ones in need. With a new refrigerated truck donated by Kraft, we rescued 39,609 pounds from area Kroger stores, frozen to retain its freshness, all of which was distributed to the community.
