Our Partnerships
The Neighborhood Harvest participates with SSSEVA, one of several Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) in Virginia, to deliver fresh and nutritious meals to the homebound elderly population. This group within our local community is unable to leave their home, making access to food very difficult. With nutritionally designed meals delivered right to their door and over 90,000 meals delivered through this partnership so far, TNH is pleased to address this challenge and serve the needs of the local community!
With support from The Neighborhood Harvest making weekly donations of fresh produce and other nutritious items, Greater Works Community Outreach provides groceries annually to over 20,000 people who need assistance with access to food. TNH is pleased to contribute to this worthy cause.
Over 34 years, Access College Foundation has helped provide an opportunity for 77,000 students to receive a college education and make a difference. The Neighborhood Harvest has provided an additional boost to many of those students with the home delivery of fruit and vegetable bundles.
Virginia Public Schools
The United States Department of Agriculture provides funds for local Virginia public schools to use for sourcing local produce. The Neighborhood Harvest is pleased to help behind the scenes with delivering these nutritious food options to 271 schools in our community.
