After the Harvest volunteers collect excess produce from farmers’ fields and donates it to community members in need. After the Harvest is volunteer driven and works with farmers in Missouri and Kansas to glean their fields and orchards after the harvest, to gather up produce left behind by mechanical equipment and pickers. This fresh, locally grown food is delivered to food pantries and feeding agencies in close proximity to the farm where it is gleaned. Under ATH’s Produce Procurement Program, farmers, growers, and produce-packing plants donate tractor-trailer loads of nutritious produce that cannot be sold for cosmetic reasons. We then arrange for the packaging and safe transport of the produce to food banks and feeding agencies in Missouri and Kansas, focusing primarily on the 26-county area that encompasses Kansas City. Harvesters – the Community Food Network, Kansas City’s only food bank, is a primary distribution partner for large truckloads of produce provided by After the Harvest. In 2015, ATH provided nearly 2.2 million pounds of produce. Our goal for 2016 is to provide 3.2 million pounds of fresh produce to food banks and feeding agencies in Missouri and Kansas, focusing primarily on the greater Kansas City metropolitan area.
